Re: Creating files and then combining them into one PF

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

How are ALLSALES and SALES10 used?

Having the data duplicated into separate physical files seems pretty
silly to me.

Personally, I'd have all the data in ALLSALES, perhaps using multiple
members*, then create SALES10, SALES09 as logicals over the one
physical.

*note: I'd only have ALLSALES as multiple member if I had the DB2
Multisystem part of the OS installed and could create the ALLSALES
table as an SQL partitioned table.

HTH,
Charles
