R: Non-Join multi-PF logical file format

Hi, Heater, how are you? The sun is shining in Italy now. 
May be i'm wrong, but 
" record format can use only the fields common to all the physical files" 
is true for the Key definition of the Logical file only, and it's true
because 
of logical reasons only ( i  mean not for technical ones). 

The logical file will contain and show all the fields from the original PFs.
There is no need to use OMIT and INCLUDE statement, because the system is
able to recognize the record format which is reading from. 
Try using a DFU session and watch the result.
Do you agree ? 

Yours sincerely. Ciao
Domenico Finucci

Oggetto: RE: Non-Join multi-PF logical file format

In a multiple format logical file, a record format can use only the fields
common to all the physical files on the PFile keyword for that record
format.  
ex:
R A856HDR                   PFILE(EDI856HDR)
K LONO
K BONO
O STSCD                     COMP(NE 'OK')
S TRDPNRID                  COMP(EQ 'ACE')
S TRDPNRID                  COMP(EQ 'MEIJER')


R A85657SC                  PFILE(EDI85657SC)
K LONO
K BONO
K SHPSQ
O STSCD                     COMP(NE 'OK')
S TRDPNRID                  COMP(EQ 'ACE')
S TRDPNRID                  COMP(EQ 'MEIJER')
