Re: Defining DS with EXTNAME('filename')

Only if at least one of them is Qualified.

You have never been able to have two fields with the same name in RPG since it has always adopted a one name = one storage location rule. Since a DS is by definition an allocation of storage ...

By qualifying one of the DS you rename the field to DSName.Fieldname.

I encountered an issue where I couldn't compile an established RPG program...
I received error RNF3084: Name ADPHN@ in external description ADRESSAD is not renamed; external name is ignored.

This was in the d-specs
D AddrAD e ds extname('ADRESSAD')

Since the last time this program was compiled, I had added this to a copy member:
dcl-ds DSADRS extname('ADRESSAD') end-ds;

Can you not have two Data Structures defined in the same program referencing the same Physical file?

In this case, I removed the definition for data structure AddrAD, and replaced it with DSADRS in the calculations. Is that the only resolution?
