Re: Long file names for external data structures

Turns out that I did have to use the short name for extname here:
dcl-ds Media_library_info extname('MEDIA_INFO') qualified end-ds;

but if I modified that to
dcl-ds Media_library_info extname('MEDIA_INFO') qualified alias end-ds;

I could use the column long names like
fetch ... :Media_Library_Info.Device_Status
and not have to use their short names like
fetch ... :Media_Library_Info.Device_Sts

'alias' does not seem to apply to the extname
