Re: Use of 2 logical files

Gee, Rob, feeling a little testy today?  <g>

I'll concur with the second part of your first suggestion.

But for a real solution to the problem at hand, just use Plan E (KRENAME).

Please do the world a favor and DO NOT use Plan B.  _That_ would be a PHB
solution to the problem.

BTW, Otis_The_Cat, RTFM!!!

Sure, you take your pointy haired boss out in the woods and shoot him.
Then you convert the program into RPGIV.

Plan B:  Recreate the logical files, giving them different record format
names.

Plan C:  Access the second file using SQL and avoid the record format name
problem.

Plan D:  If you are accessing the files sequentially one at a time, for
example, read all fileA then read all fileB, then open/close the files in
your program and use QCMDEXC to OVRDBF to the right file.  Thus you are
only declaring one file.  Provided they have the same layout.

Plan E:  Look at the KRENAME continuation line option.
