From the manual;

PREFIX(prefix{:nbr_of_char_replaced})

The PREFIX keyword is used to partially rename the fields in
an externally described file.The characters specified in the
first parameter are prefixed to the names of all fields
defined in all records of the file specified in positions
7-16. The characters can be specified as a name, for example
PREFIX(F1_), _or as a character literal, for example
PREFIX('F1_')_. A character literal must be used if the
prefix contains a period, for example
PREFIX('F1DS.') or PREFIX('F1DS.A')......


.....a few lines further in the manual....If the prefix is a character literal, it must be uppercase.
