diffrence between rename and prefix

Answer Posted / joy mukherjee

By RENAME we can able to rename the record format of
externally described file.

If you want to rename the fields if externally described
files either we can use EXTFLD or we can use PREFIX.
If we use both EXTFLD and PREFIX all the fields are
prefixed those are not renamed by EXTFLD.
