RE: Advice needed on a multimember DDS file to be converted -- MIDRANGE-L

True.

But the nice thing is it doesn't matter where those 32 members are. They could be in one file, or 32
files.

So for instance, you could have one file with 12 members for the data by month for the current year
and another file with 7 members with data by year for the last 7 years.

From your applications standpoint, you've got 8 years of data in a single file.

The only piece of the application that has to know about the partitioning is the piece that does the
loading.

Only 32 members allowed :-(

They could.

On the other hand, using logicals with DTAMBRS(*ALL), you could easily
write an application that
doesn't know that it's working with a mult-membered file.

Charles,

Isn't it true the applications that access multi-member files access
those
members by specific names?
