Re: Matching Records

David,

If all files have blank for end of file processing, all records of all files will be processed (I'll admit I had to look it up). If you don't specify match fields, secondary files are processed in the order they are specified. Sort of a union.

In your example, which is very concise, I remember
that you need to specify end of file processing on
both the primary and secondary files or the program
will end once all records are read from the primary
file regardless if more records remain in the
secondary file. So the file spec would be IPE for the
primary and ISE for the secondary. Maybe someone else
remembers this subtlety or has additional light to
shine on the topic.
