subject: Reading a joined file in RPG

I need help with reading and processing a 'joined' logical file in an RPG
program.
A little background. We have 1 file (non DDS) that has 12 formats. This file
is used by apx. 80 programs (RPGIII/IV).  From a simple read program to
programs updating selected formats.  These programs have the file internally
defined. I have finished doing the DDS specs for each of the formats in this
file.  I know that these DDS files can now be joined into one logical file.
The logical then can be processed in an RPG programs.  I would like to know
if anyone has an example of how to read/update the joined file in an RPG
program using the internally defined layout.  This would in turn give me
more time to convert the programs to use the DDS files.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
William Moore
