RE: Externally Defined Data Structure Qualified

I do not think I can do an eval-corr into a record format, can I?

Yes, effectively, you can -- as long as you do your file-IO using
a data structure.

Thanks for your reply, however the issue is I cannot create a 'base'
DS due to having field the same in other files, so I can have the
renamed fields DS but nowhere to eval-corr to.

Yes, you can. Create your qualified base DS and then eval-corr to
each data structure that is used for your file-IO.

If I cannot get the fields back into the record format to
write the record then I have not accomplished the goal.

You can accomplish your entire goal by using qualified data
structures in every case -- file-IO and all.

Sincerely,
