RE: How does one rename a field in RPG400 that is a output field only?

I think you override the output position with the variable you want
You need to check in the DSPF listing or DSPFFD output position for ORDSTS and then in the RPG O specs put the ORDER_STS variable like:
ORECFMT_NAME
O ORDER_STS 123

A new RPG/400 program? Yikes I don't think I could even code in that anymore.

I have an new RPG/400 program that has 2 both fields and 1 output field. The
compiler gives a QRG4033 error and I believe the error is caused because the
field is an output only field. The compiler fails on the rename of the
field. All other long name fields successfully rename.



IRECFMT_NAME

I ORDER_STS ORDSTS



Don't know if I have ever had this issue before. Too long to remember.



The record format is a subfile control record.



How does one rename a field name such as ORDER_STS to ORDSTS for an output
field?



TIA
