OK this is weird to me - we have a program that compiles at 7.1 - it has this declaration for a structure to use in a FETCH -

dcl-ds inFileName extname('FILENAME') end-ds;

At 7.1 I used qualified names - yes, I probably shouldn't have - but it worked - for some reason the following was true on performing the first FETCH:

inFILENAME.FIELD1 = 'Ecolab'

and

FIELD1 = 'Ecolab'

Again, I don't remember why I qualified the references to the fields, but I did. And it worked.

_____So a column name by itself and qualified contained the same value._____

At 7.3 we receive a message RNF7591 "Operand of a qualified name expression is not valid."

Has something changed since 7.1? I looked at the What's New for 7.2 and for 7.3 in the current RDi help - no such information.

Your replies are welcome - except for chastising my use of qualified names like this at 7.1   :)
