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
