<h1 class="topictitle1">ALTNAME (Alternative Record Name) keyword</h1>
<div><p>Use this record-level keyword to specify an alternative name for
a record.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The alternative name can be specified for I/O operations when
using program-described files. The syntax of the alternative
record name must be valid for the high-level language compiler in use.</p>
<div class="p">The
format of the keyword is: <pre>ALTNAME('alternative-name')</pre>
</div>
<p>The
length of the alternative name is 1 to 8 characters. The first character of
the name must not be an asterisk.</p>
<p>The alternative name must be different
from all other names and from all DDS record names (positions 19 through 28)
in the file. When a duplicate name is found, an error is issued on the record
name or alternative record name.</p>
<p>ALTNAME is not allowed on subfile records
(SFL keyword).</p>
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.</p>
<p>The
following example shows how to specify the ALTNAME keyword.</p>
</div>
<div class="example"> <pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
A R RECORD1 ALTNAME('R( 2).a')
A</pre>
<p>The alternative name for RECORD1 is 'R( 2).a'.</p>
