<h1 class="topictitle1">RENAME (Rename) keyword—logical files only</h1>
<div><p>Use this field-level keyword when you want a field name in the
logical record format that you are defining to be different from
its corresponding physical file field name.</p>
<div class="section"><div class="p">The format of the keyword is: <pre>RENAME(physical-file-field-name)</pre>
</div>
<p>The
name as it appears in the physical file record format is the parameter value
for this keyword. One field in the physical file record format can be renamed
to more than one field in the record format being described.</p>
<div class="p">You
can rename fields in situations similar to the following ones: <ul><li>You want to use programs that were written using a different name for
the same field.</li>
<li>You want to map one field in a physical file record format to two or more
fields in a logical file record format.</li>
<li>You are using a high-level language (such as RPG III) that does not permit
two fields having different names to have only one data storage area. By specifying
the RENAME keyword, you allow both fields to access the same data storage
area.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>If you specify the same physical field more than once in a record
format in the logical file (that is, by using either RENAME or CONCAT), the
sequence in which the fields are specified in the logical file is the sequence
in which the data is moved to the physical file on an update or insert operation.
Thus, the value in the last occurrence of the physical field is the value
that is put in the physical record and is the value that is used for all keys
built over that physical field. All previous values of the same field are
written over and have no effect.</p>
</div>
<div class="example"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Examples</h4><p>The following examples show how to specify
the RENAME keyword.</p>
<p>In the following example, the QTYDUE field in the
physical file (PF1) is renamed QTY in the logical file.</p>
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00050A R RCD1 PFILE(PF1)
00060A QTY RENAME(QTYDUE)
A</pre>
</div>
<div class="example"><p>In the following example, the renamed field in the logical file
(QTY) is used as a key field.</p>
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
