Rick, Rich,

Now that sounds promising! But it raises some questions for me. Perhaps I am 
not grasping the concept of multiple data file members in a single physical 
file.

1) So a *FILE can have many members, each of which can contain thousands of 
records of varying length? Amazing!

2) Using OVRDBF MBR(*ALL) would allow a COBOL program to read them all - 
one-by-one?

3) Could this cause a potential locking problem for other processes that 
need to create a new member while one of more file members may be being read 
by another process?
