Re: Rename file field in RPGLE

Why only 2 fields any specialty? I don't think you can compile the program that way

Use PREFIX keyword

FFILE1 IF E K DISK
F PREFIX(F1)

You can replace n number of characters of your field by using PREFIX(F1:2) this
mean fist 2 characters of the field names will be replaced by F1
