RE: LF on 2 files with 'UNION'

Thanks Rob.  The addlfm gives me an error - > the Fileb not valid.  We are on 
v5r1.  I tried the create view once again and got the same error :)   Perhaps 
the field name prefix being different, makes all the difference!

Ram,

Why would my Create View work and yours not?  I am at V5R2 - in case that
matters.

DDS is a dark confusing art.  But what happens if you keep your DDS
simple, like:
                 R AREC          PFILE(FILEA)
                   AFIELD1 R
                   AFIELD2 R
               AFIELD3 R

Compile it without any members:
CRTLF ... MBR(*NONE)
and then do:
ADDLFM FILE(MYVIEW) MBR(MYMBR) DTAMBRS((FILEA (FILEA)) (FILEB (*FILEB)))

The 2 files have the same format name and are created from the same dds
but the field name prefix are different.

In the program I have it as
  select afield1,afield2,afield3 from filea where afield1 <> ' ' ...
   union select bfield1,bfield2,bfield3 from fileb where bfield1<> ' ' ...

which works fine.

I did something like the following that errored out.

 create view filevew  as
  select afield1,afield2,afield3 from filea
   union select bfileld1,bfield2,bfield3 from fileb

 UNION and UNION ALL for CREATE VIEW not valid.


I then created lf with 2 record formats with same selected fields as above
:

                 R AREC          PFILE(FILEA)
                   AFIELD1 R
                   AFIELD2 R
        AFIELD3 R
                 K AFIELD1
                 K AFIELD2
      K AFIELD3

                 R BREC          PFILE(FILEB)
                   AFIELD1 R
                   AFIELD2 R
        AFIELD3 R

                 K BFIELD1
                 K BFIELD2
      K BFIELD3

But when I do a select I get :

select * from LFFILE1
File LFFILE1 in SUDLIB has more than one format.

Thanks,
Sudha
