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.

to 1 pf thru CPYF cl command.

Declare the 2 PF files in the RPG program. Rename either

If the fields also same use PREFIX Keyword uisng D spec if
you are using ILE
Or RPG/400 use I spec and rename the fields
Then read from the file and write into the another file
