Re: Rename the record format

If you know what the external file will be, are you saying that it could have more than one record format?

You can define define the file (or LF's thereover) multiple times and use the rename for each record format

FORDERCUS  IF   E           k DISK    INFSR(*PSSR)        
F                                     RENAME(OER40:OER401)
FORDERCUS2 IF   E           k DISK    INFSR(*PSSR)        
F                                     RENAME(OER40:OER402)

F                                     RENAME(OER40:OER403)etc.
