We have separate libraries for each year's history.  In order to perform
inquiries across multiple years rather than multi-defining each PF in
the program (which, honestly, is what I have been doing), I would like
to read them as a single file.



These tables have the same identical layout (fields, format names, file
names); just in different libraries.  I tried using a multiple format LF
but, naturally, it blew off because the record format names are the same.



Is there any way to read these two physical files via a single file
statement, or am I just spinning my wheels in the sand here?
