This concept can be a bit confusing to newcomers.  I remember being overwelmed 
many years ago.  Rmember this - anything that resides on the AS/400 is an 
object.  Now, lets talk about files.  A file may have 1 or more members.  Think 
of members as a way of grouping data within the file.

I have another newbie question, and it's a result of my very very thick
head, and my less than stellar text book on the AS400. I thought I
understood that I was creating a SRC-PF file member, MYFILE, in the QDDSSRC
file in my library for my physical file, MYFILE (whew!). I also thought I
understood that the PF that was created after the compile of the SRC-PF
member was actually an object in my library (this is what the text
states)...however, the command to display the contents of the PF object,
MYFILE, is DSPPFM (display physical file member).

So, is the file that actually contains the data a Member or an Object? Did
I even understand the concept enough to explain my confusion correctly? :-)

TIA,
