Re: OPNQRYF question

You need to create another format (file) with all of the fields you wish to
use. Then specify that in your format parameter.

ovrdbf file(combFile) tofile(file1) share(*yes)
opnqryf file(file1 file2) +
                 format(combFile) +
                 jfld((1/fld1 2/fld4)) +
                 keyfld(fld1 fld5)
call (pgm opening combFile)
clof opnid(combFile)
dltovr file(combFile)



Thanks,

Mark

Hi Group
FILE1 has FLD1, FLD2 and FLD3 fields. Another file FILE2 has FLD4, FLD5 and
FLD6 fields. Now can I do an OPNQRY on both od FILE1 and FILE2, format
FILE1 and key by FLD1 and FLD5? When I tried that I got an error "Key field
FLD5 not valid for record format". I understand that since FLD5 is not in
FILE1 and I am using FILE1's format in OPNQRYF, it is giving that error.
Is there any other way I can do that by OPNQRYF?

Thanks in advance
Amitava
