Have you tried the prefix keyword against the third party's table?

Subject: Freeform Inquiry
I have a situation here where files from a third party vendor contain field names identical to one of my own files. The third party files are each varying, where as those in my files were created fixed length. That of course produces a compile error. I have over ridden(renamed) the fields in my files by way of the I specs; thusly:
// ISPECS
***************************************************************
IRim0003
I DocID DocID_3
I Title Title_3
I Folder1 Folder1_3
My question is this: Is there any way to accomplish this same end without resorting to fixed column I specs? These stand out like a sore thumb in an otherwise totally free-form program.
