Re: Adding a member to an index

The proper way would be to stop using multiple member physical files
(except for source). Can you do that or are you constrained by archaic
packaged software?

My interpretation of what you are trying to do is create an SQL index over
a multiple member table and you want to automatically have the table's
member's data added to the rows processed by that index and the new table
member is added. Well, not even a DDS LF does this. There is no ADDLFM
MBR(*ALL). You have to add the members individually.

MYPF
R MYPFR
MYCHAR 5A

MYPFLF
R MYPFR PFILE(MYPF)
K MYCHAR

UPDDTA ROB/MYPF
RUNQRY QRYFILE(ROB/MYPFLF)
A
B
C

ADDPFM FILE(MYPF) MBR(MBR1)
UPDDTA FILE(ROB/MYPF) MBR(MBR1)
RUNQRY QRYFILE((ROB/MYPF MBR1))
1
2
3
RUNQRY QRYFILE(ROB/MYPFLF)
A
B
C
What you can do is:
ADDLFM FILE(MYPFLF) MBR(BIGONE) DTAMBRS((MYPF (MYPF MBR1)))
But it's still 'by hand'.

Probably more a midrange-l topic than a rpg one.
