I have a Logical file including records from with 3 different physical
files:
1 - Purchase Ordes
2 - Customer Orders
3 - Other movements
Logical key shall be, for all three record types:
K ItemNo : Item Number
K MDate : Movement Date (in YYYYMMDD format)
The question is:
in case there is coincidence for records from the 3 physicals for same
key values (Item and Date), I'd like to process Type1 records first,
then type2 records, then type3.
AFAIK, logical file DDS specifications (e.g., defining Type1 first,
Type2 seconf, Type3 third within DDS) do NOT guarantee any such order
when reading the logical for equal key values...
I remember one could use in DDS something like "K *NONE" to bypass a
key field when physical does not have a field, so I thought of adding a
logical "virtual" field (file layout for physicals CANNOT be changed...)
with "forced" values of 1, 2 and 3 for each record type, and include
this "virtual" field as last key field, but how can I achieve this?
Any ideas are welcome!
