You can name the record name in a logical file anything you want to name it. 
Only trick is that you have to specify the field names in the logical. 

Do a search in the archives for a post on my name Alan Campin and for the date 
of Wed, 2 Feb 2005 16:41:58 -700 and you will find a discussion of how to 
create logicals with different names. In your case, you just probably want to 
include all the fields. 

When I create logical files, I always use a unique format name and include the 
fields.

Subject: A question about LF


Hi!

I have a question about logical files and System 36 Files... I have to create a 
logical file on an old S/36 file. Usually it is not hard to do so. But in my 
case, it is... The record file name is B.CLMDSC. So I cannot use this name in 
my reference line like that:

R        B.CLMDSC           PFile(B.CLMDSC)

I tried that and it does not compile. So is there a way to rename dynamically 
the record name to be used in the logical file?

Thanks for your help

Charles
