Good morning, David.

I don't understand the reason why you selected such a definition for your LF.

May you change it to comply with the structure i 've just proposed ?

Kindest regards

Domenico Finucci

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. For example ...

Physical File named "A"

     A          R AREC
     A            FLD1           1A

Physical File named "B" (In this case the entire record format for file AA is identical to that of file A)

     A          R BREC
     A            FLD1           1A

Logical File named ABLF

Non-Join Multi-PF Logical File Format (in this case the only format in the LF)

     A          R AREC                      PFILE(A B)
     A          K FLD1
