But FILEB does not contain a CCC record. The join file is join by KEY1. Because CCC is not in FILEB, record CCC, 1234567890 in FILEA will not be

does it consider as duplicate?

That's an interesting question and I do not know the answer but the fact that OS/400 complains does not seem wrong to me. Who's to say the join occurs before the index entry is added? If the join occurs after the index entry then you would expect a duplicate key error.

If you add the two records to the PF before the logical file exists and then attempt to create the logical you'll get the same error message when the member is added to the LF (i.e., the LF is created but the member cannot be added due to duplicate keys in the access path).
