You may not use the RENAMES clause when creating data dictionaries. If you do, a file error results and the XFD is not created for that file. Instead of using the RENAMES clause, we recommend that you name the data segments in the usual ACUCOBOL-GT manner. For example:
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY K1-CUSTOMER =
company-name,
company-address2,
company-zipcode2
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY K2-CUSTOMER
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY K3-CUSTOMER WITH DUPLICATES
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY K4-CUSTOMER =
company-contact,
k-customer
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY K5-CUSTOMER WITH DUPLICATES
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY K6-CUSTOMER =
company-address3,
company-zipcode3,
company-country
WITH DUPLICATES
