If the files have the same format structure ( field names and data types ) you can name them both in the PFILE keyword. The CRTLF command will combine the 2 into one LF. You have to use a key, however. And SQL will be able to use it, since it has only one format. If you do not use an ORDER BY it just runs. If you use an ORDER BY, even the same as the LF, a temporary copy is made. Probably similar overhead to using the UNION.

Interesting, eh?

BTW, you can get this information simply by turning on debug (STRDBG) and running the SQL. The optimizer will put its decision process into messages in your job log. In this case, one of the messages, in its second-level text, said that the copy was made because the LF was based on multiple PFs.

Hi

How to create "logical" files which will be equivalent for SQL code:

insert into LIB/FILEALL
SELECT * FROM FILE1 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM FILE2

With Join statement I have to use some condition, so how to union two or
more files?

I can do it by sql but I would like to have FILEALL with always "fresh"
records?

Regards

Tomasz Skorza
