yes, it does.

Let's take an example and suppose we have the following LF

R RFILE1 PFILE(PF01)

A K Field01

A K Field02

R RFILE2 PFILE(PF02)

A K Field01

A K Field02

R RFILE3 PFILE(PF03)

A K Field01

A K Field02

(the three PF share the same key structure ).

Your Cobol program is able to read such an LF with SEQUENTIAL, DYNAMIC and RANDOM Access as with a normal one. Remember that COBOL/400 supplies the register variable DB-FORMAT-NAME which hosts the name of the last format read.

Let me know if it's clear enough.

Yours sincerely.

Oggetto: Non-Join multi-PF logical file format

Can a COBOL program work with a non-join logical file record format which references more than one PF (more than one PF in the DDS PFILE entry) ? I know RPG programs can NOT compile if they reference such a file. Thanks.
