RE: CHAIN to a DS

Pardon me for being stupid here, but why not do a single copy and
set triggers on the physicals that all call the same trigger program
that writes the file you want to write?
Then you don't have all the copying of data and a single source for
updating your "Master" file.

Would CPYF FROMFILE(FILE1) TOFILE(FILE2) MBROPT(*UPDADD) work for you?

No, because there is one additional field in the to-file, which indicates
which library the TRANS file was in.  

 

Basically, I have 60+ of these TRANS files, in different libraries, and the
file I am updating is one file containing all records from all files.  I
want to update the master file based on updates/adds only, because this
program will generate a web page throughout the day (currently every half
hour, we want it every 15 minutes or less)  indicating to individuals (three
letter ones, CEO, CIO, etc.) our performance.  

 

Besides, I don't think that 60+ CPYF commands would run near as fast as
using the journaling approach.  

Thanks
