The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The catalog since v3r1 has provided [nearly] capability to enable
code to effect what a FRF provides, and prior to that the SQL Data
Dictionary [implemented as *DTADCT object and deprecated since v3r1].
Presumably you are thinking of the CREATE TABLE AS and CREATE TABLE LIKE
syntax for which the capability is since directly available to scripted
source CREATE TABLE requests.
To reference fields from more than one file on the CREATE TABLE AS, a
JOIN syntax can be employed to include multiple files. Using WITH NO
DATA like in the example [2nd link below] would eliminate any reason to
code a WHERE clause; so too for effecting join, so just more files with
comma separator should suffice.

My brain tells me that in recent releases a native SQL equivalent of the
field reference file was added to the product.
Can't find any reference to it though - am I imagining it or simply not
Googling with the right words?
