These things are indeed true.

However, Jim's problem is the opposite; he has, I surmise, a series of 
programs to be converted/reimplemented which use the CopyLib names, and 
where the people doing the conversion need to know the underlying 
database names.

So, to go back to the Image/CopyLib XREF that I described in my earlier 
posting, such tools as DICTCDE would enable you to replace the 'Query' 
column with a COBOL-like set of information, perhaps even with decimal 
position information that Query does not possess, but Dict/3000 might, 
if you had set it up accordingly.

But would go no further than that; which might not be far enough.
