I rarely use multi-member tables. When I do, it is to save month-end date in an archive or to replace the S/36 workstation (?WS?) file processing that proliferates throughout this old software.

After Charles replied, I did a search (ask.com) and found a pretty recent (12 months ago; that still qualifies as "recent" even for us, right?) on partitioned tables by Mike Cain. Didn't read the whole thing but skimmed it. Pretty good documentation, but didn't read enough to see if it would help - if I had DB2 multisystem, which I don't.

Thanks.

Remember, you qualified that with "if I want/need 2-n members in a table". One alternative is to NOT use multiple members.

Another option is to use the SPENDMONEY command and purchase DB2 multi system so that you can use "partitioned" tables. This, in effect, uses multiple members. Grinds me that IBM requires that product to use partitioned tables though.
