Would you not do the following:
I*
Ibyspol01
I field1 extfl1
I field2 extfl2
I field3 extfl3
The format name of the logical file, then the fileds to be renamed and the new field names.

Subject: I don't know how to convert these old I specs
Hi all,
In this code MYFILE is to become externally described.
IMYFILE NS
I 2 23 FIELD1
I P 39 432FIELD2
I P 59 632FIELD3
MYFILE is a logical based on two physical files.
FIELD1 is in both PFs in the same position
FIELD2 is in PF1 only.
A 5 character field exists in both formats at position 59.
I want to rename the fields after declaring MYFILE as externally described.
I_________
I EXTFL1 FIELD1
I EXTFL2 FIELD2
I ______ FIELD3
What format name do I use? How do I know which is the external name for FIELD3?
Thanks.
