Answer Wiki:
Yes, you can use a different format name. The advantage of using the same name is then you do not need to include all the fields. It is done atomatically. If you have a different name, you need to list the fields you want to include. If your concern is because an RPG program will not compile, you can have the same format name for files, you just need to use the RENAME option on the F spec.

Is it possible to have some other record format name in my LF?

Do you only want to change the name or are you asking about having an additional record format with a different name?
