A field name must be qualified if the field name is not unique. A field name is not unique under the following circumstances:

• If it occurs in more than one of the following record types:
  • Database records named on the PATH parameter
  • Logical records named on the PATH parameter
  • Records of a file characterized on the KEYFILE parameter
  • Records of a file characterized on an INPUT parameter
• If it is defined for two or more columns in a view of a table.

The field name qualifiers are considered part of the field name.
