ALTNAME (Alternative Record Name) keyword for display files

Use this record-level keyword to specify an alternative name for a record. 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.

The format of the keyword is:

ALTNAME('alternative-name')

Refer to Appendix B, System/36 environment considerations for display files, for information on how to specify the ALTNAME keyword.
