RE: RE: Logical over multiple members

OK, If you had a physical file with 32767 members could you create a logical
file based on that physical and add a logical file member based on *ALL
members in the physical?  I could swear that there's an upper limit on the
number of physical file members on which a single logical file member could
be based.

Hi,

I'm without the benefit of a system to play with, but I thought that the
maximum number of members in any database file is 32767.

I ran into this "gotcha" during m Y2K conversion. I think that when you
create a logical file, the maximum number of members you can specify is
32; however, if you create a logical file with, say, one member, you can
then use ADDLFM to go well beyond the 32-member limit. I've got files on
my system with over 150 members (can anyone say "BPCS" :-). I imagine
there is a limit, but I don't  know what it is. . . .
