David,

I currently work in a COBOL shop,and all I can tell you is that the only thing we use non-join multi-format logical files for is EDI purposes. None of our programs are utilizing those types of files. I dug around, and I have no definate answer for you. Personally, I don't see how you could use one within the program. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Subject: 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.
