Daniel,
It looks like you didn't know (forgot?) that you can use an FD name to qualify data items in the record description.

Didn't know. :) I guess I never had the need to do that. I've also never coded on IBM, but this didn't sound like an IBM-specific problem. So you basically just qualify it up to the name of the file (i.e. NCB-001 of INP-FIL)?
