  • Subject: file merge dilema

I'm sure the answer to my problem is easy but I'm not seeing it.  I have a
need to join 2 PFs and process them as 1.  They are identical in record
format name, field names and characterisitics.  They both have the same four
fields defined as a key.  If you put the records from both files together
you would still have a unique key.   I have been reading about join LFs but
I don't see an example of this scenario so I am not sure if I can use that
within DB2.  I know I can copy the 2 files into 1 every time I want to
process the merged files but of course, that's a lot of overhead.  Does
anyone have an idea?

TIA
