RE: RE: Logical over multiple members

OK, now that I've gone out on a limb I've decided to do some testing.  I've
got a physical file with 121 members, and a logical file that is
traditionally used for single member to single member reference.  When I try
to ADDLFM based on that physical specifying MBR(*ALL) I get the following
errors:

More than 32 members specified on DTAMBRS.
Member MEMBER not added to file FILE in LIBRARY. 

This is on V4R5.  We can have 121 logical file members each based on single
physical file members, but I don't see a way to base a single logical file
member on more than 32 members.  Have I missed something?

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. . . .
