The EXTNAME keyword is used to specify the name of the file which contains
the field descriptions used as the subfield description for the data structure
being defined.
The file_name parameter is required. Optionally a format name may be specified
to direct the compiler to a specific format within a file. If format_name
parameter is not specified the first record format is used.
In a free-form definition, the file-name and format-name parameters
must be character literals or named constants representing
character literals.
If a parameter is a
named constant, the constant must be defined prior to the definition
statement. 
In a fixed-form definition, the file-name and format-name parameters can be either names
or character literals. 
If a character literal is specified, the file or format
name name must be specified in the correct case. For example, if the external
file is MYFILE, the file-name parameter could be specified as a name in mixed
case such as myFile or myfile, but if specified as a literal it must be 'MYFILE'.
If the file-name is a character literal, it can be in any of the following
forms
'LIBRARY/FILE'
'FILE'
'*LIBL/FILE'
The last parameter specifies which fields in the external record
to extract:
- *ALL extracts all fields.
- *INPUT extracts just input capable fields.
- *OUTPUT extracts just output capable fields.
- *KEY extracts just key fields.
If this parameter is not specified, the compiler extracts the fields
of the input buffer.
Note: - If the format-name is not specified, the record defaults to the first
record in the file.
- For *INPUT and *OUTPUT, subfields included in the data structure occupy
the same start positions as in the external record description.
If an externally-described data structure
(EXT keyword for an free-form definition, or
E in position 22 for a free-form definition, and the
EXTNAME keyword is not specified, the data structure name
is used for the external name. 
The compiler will generate the following definition specification entries
for all fields of the externally described data structure:
- Subfield name (Name will be the same as the external name, unless
the ALIAS keyword is specified for the data structure,
or the is field renamed
by the EXTFLD keyword,
or the PREFIX keyword on a definition specification is used
to apply a prefix).
- Subfield length
- Subfield internal data type (will be the same as the external type, unless
the CVTOPT control specification keyword or command parameter is specified
for the type. In that case the data type will be character).
All data structure keywords except LIKEDS and LIKEREC are allowed with
the EXTNAME keyword.
