Answer / venkat b

You can give 2 different names to the different Physical
Files like the following code and then use the
keyword "EXTFILE" to give a fully qualified PF -

Fname1 if f 10 disk extfile(LIBRARY1/filename)
Fname2 if f 10 disk extfile(LIBRARY2/filename)
RENAME(rcdname1:rcdname2)

Then, use DOW, Read and write.

Answer / syam

You can't declare 2 pf in the RPG program with same name.
If you declare, system will give error on compilation
(*RNF2026 30).
You can rename same record name in RPG program.
You can rename fiel name in RPG program.
You can't keep 2 pf in one library with same.
2 pf with same name in 2 differned library, you can copy
to 1 pf thru CPYF cl command.
