Re: Limits on Selects and Omits (DDS)

James,

I tried searching a number of places.  Latest Gospel is:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzamp/rzampoverview.htm
But that says nothing.

Sad that the DDS manual says only:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzakb/rzakbmst.pdf
There are limits to the number of select/omit statements you can specify 
in a single logical file. If you specify many select/omit statements and 
you cannot create the file, reduce the overhead for the file through the 
following changes in the specifications, in decreasing order of 
importance:
- Reduce the number of record formats in the file.
- Reduce the number of physical files specified on the PFILE or JFILE 
keyword.
- Reduce the number of fields used (single occurrences) in the select/omit 
specifications.
