<h1 class="topictitle1">ALIAS (Alternative Name) keyword in printer files</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Use this field-level keyword to specify an alternative name for
|
|
a field.</p>
|
|
<p>When the program is compiled, the alternative name is brought into the
|
|
program instead of the DDS field name. The high-level language compiler in
|
|
use determines if the alternative name is used. Refer to the
|
|
appropriate high-level language reference manual for information about ALIAS
|
|
support for that language.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">The format of the keyword is: <pre>ALIAS(alternative-name)</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The alternative-name parameter must be different from all other alternative
|
|
names and from all DDS field names in the record format. If a duplicate name
|
|
is found, an error appears on the field name or alternative name.</p>
|
|
<p>An alternative name cannot be used within DDS or any other <span class="keyword"><font color="Purple">i5/OS™</font></span> function (for example, as a key field name,
|
|
as the field name specified for the REFFLD keyword, or as a field name used
|
|
in the Copy File (CPYF) command).</p>
|
|
<p>When you reference a field that has the ALIAS keyword, the ALIAS keyword
|
|
is copied in unless the ALIAS keyword is explicitly specified on the referencing
|
|
field.</p>
|
|
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify
|
|
the ALIAS keyword.</p>
|
|
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
|
|
00070A FIELDA 25A 1 2ALIAS(CUSTOMERNAME)
|
|
A</pre>
|
|
<p>In this example, the alternative name for FIELDA is CUSTOMERNAME.</p>
