MODIFY RECORD Statement

The MODIFY RECORD statement allows you to specify a name for a generated record. The specified name overrides the name supplied by the syntax generator. Note that the default record names are derived from the corresponding DL/I segment names.

If the name of a record in the associated schema is different from the syntax generator-supplied name, you must include the MODIFY RECORD statement to supply the correct schema-specific record name.
