Can anyone share a good method of using both a PF and an associated LF in the same COBOL program?

I have tried simply defining the two files, and see all sorts of errors due to duplicate names.

I also tried COPY ... REPLACING the record format with another record format name, and that brought on even more errors.

Thanks in advance!
