Re: OPNQRYF - merging files.

[boothm@xxxxxxx]

Probably not very efficient, but what I do is to process one file and copy it 
to a holding file, records(*replace), and then cycling through each remaining 
file, records(*add) until done.  It seems fast enough in batch and is clear in 
the CL as to what is happening.  FMTDTA is of course pretty good too, as Buck 
suggests.
