Renaming one field in RPGLE

[mansi400]

Hi,

Is there any way to prefix only one field of a physical file in RPGLE program? The requirement is to change the name of only one field in the program. The RPGLE program is called from the CL program.

Thanks
Mansi !!!

Who or what it is called by is irrelevant since field names are effectively internal to the program.

What you need to do is to use an I-spec to rename the individual field. It is about the only use their is for I-specs these days.

Yeah what john said:

imyformat                                          
i              x.myfield                     myfield

Best of Luck

You could also define an external data structure and rename the field within this data structure.
Example:

D DSMYFILE      E DS                  ExtName(MyFile)      
D   MYNewName   E                     ExtFld(MyFileFld)

In this way you do not need I-Specs
