I have to modify a RPG/400 program and need to read File_A a second time. I
have created a LF FILE_A1 to do that. The LF has all fields plus 2
concatenated fields for a from and to date.

So far so good.

I need to rename the fields so that when I chain to the file, the values
read in go to a renamed field.

I have tried a few options and the last version had the I-spec as

IOEFRTF1
5042

I FTECC DSECC
5042

I FTEYY DSEYY
5042

I FTEMM DSEMM
5042

I FTEDD DSEDD
5042

Compiling fails with QRG7030 on the 2 concatenated fields.

How should I do this?

TIA
