Re: how to duplicate this mainframe process on iSeries?

Multi-member files are unique to the Iseries to my
knowledge. They require a little more work to deal with
but can be very handy in certain situations.

Yes...on the ovrdbf to handle all members.

Locking would not be an issue in most cases. Each member
is treated as a seperate file in most cases.

The concept is a little strange when you first come across
it. It's been on the box for many years, but is lightly
used in my opinion.

The database on the 400 has some pretty sweet features and
requires some reading to get used to all it can do.

Go to the Information Center and search on ADDPFM which will
give you a overview on adding members to a file.
