Re: Forcing process order for Multiple Record Format Logical when equal key values

I have a Logical file including records from with 3 different physical files:
1 - Purchase Ordes
2 - Customer Orders

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, there's not much the system can do for you. You can tell which member the current record came from based on the file information data structure. You could read all records with matching keys and store them in a multiple occurrence data structure based on the INFDS member name, processing the MODS in the order you need whenever the key changes.
