Re: Externally Defined File Field Rename

I guess it depends on your objective.? When defining the file, you can
use the PREFIX keyword, which will effectively rename all the fields.

If you only want to rename some of the fields, use the
externally-defined data structure (EXTNAME keyword) then add subfields
with the EXTFLD keyword.

I ended up using the EXTNAME with EXTFLD, although the accompanying parameter on the
EXTFLD looked a bit counterintuitive to me (it worked fine). I had tried earlier to use EXTFLD, but due to an error on the EXTNAME statement, the errors I was getting on the EXTFLD's were misleading me. All's well now. Thanks!
