   Another possibility is using the old S/36 method: BLDINDEX in S/36
   environment (STRS36)

   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
