I added prefix to an existing program and this worked fine.
dcl-ds PSDS ext PSDS extname('PSDS') prefix(Gv_) end-ds;
This DID NOT.
dcl-ds PSDS ext PSDS extname('PSDS') prefix('Gv_') end-ds;
RNF3534: The parameter for keyword PREFIX is not valid; keyword is ignored.

Beg to differ, PREFIX _can_ have quotes. From the RPG IV manual:
The PREFIX keyword allows the specification of a character string or
character literal which is to be prefixed to the subfield names of the
externally described data structure being defined.
So, PREFIX(Gv) and PREFIX('GV') are no different - note uppercase in the
latter. The use of quotes is essential in this situation, PREFIX('GV_')
or PREFIX('GV.').
HTH,
Brian.

Note the PREFIX cannot have quotes, but the EXTNAME needs them.
