Re: Externally Defined File Field Rename

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

I guess it depends on your objective.  When defining the file, you can 
use the PREFIX keyword, which will effectively rename all the fields.

If you only want to rename some of the fields, use the 
externally-defined data structure (EXTNAME keyword) then add subfields 
with the EXTFLD keyword.

Even on free-form externally-defined data structure specifications, you can optionally rename fields (i.e. extfld). I've been looking for an elegant way to accomplish field renaming for an externally-defined input/update file using free specs. Anyone have a smart way to do this?
