Your memory was/is faulty :)

All that's needed is that the LF have an explicitly defined format instead
of sharing the PF format.

This:
A**IORINVSW INVENTORY MASTER FILE
A R IORINVSW PFILE(IORINVMS)
A IRSTAI R
A IDIVSN R
A IWHLOC R
A IITNIM R
A<...>
A K IDIVSN
A K IWHLOC
A K IITNIM


Instead of this:

A**IORINVSW INVENTORY MASTER FILE
A R IORINVM1 PFILE(IORINVMS)
A K IDIVSN
A K IWHLOC
A K IITNIM

That is exactly why programmers created Logical Files with just the

they needed for their program. You could change the physical but the
logical would remain unchanged. In my opinion that was a bad idea.

Unless the keys don't already exist in another logical, there's no
additional overhead beyond a few bytes of disk.

Perhaps my memory is foggy (this situation hasn't come up for me in
quite a while), but in order for logicals not to need "refreshing"
(for us that always meant recompiling, but perhaps you can get away
with just CHGLF?) the LF has to be defined with LVLCHK(*NO), doesn't
it?
