Duly noted. Thanks.


Personally, I would be fighting and kicking to avoid working with
multi-member files but I feel morally obliged to share how I work with
them.


There is no need for them in modern applications, except for the
partitioning, which of course makes them seemless. However, they exist on
systems, and there is RPG and COBOL calling them. I'd rather be able to
explore them from SQL if that's possible. Naturally I'll likely make
aliases when I need to talk to the third member of file X. However, I just
want to see how close I can get to SELECT * FROM SCHEMA.TABLE(MEMBER).
