Re: using same exact file name

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Hotel,

It's not possible to define two F-specs with the same name.  That would 
not compile.

As Marc and others have pointed out, in your example the names are 
different.  One has an 'S' as the 4th character, the other has a 'P' as 
the 4th character, they are different names.

Since it's not possible for two things to have the same name, your 
question "What is the reason for having the same name" is moot.
