D-spec using the same file name twice

Afternoon all

I know at one point, what I am about to ask is not feasible in RPG (COBOL
is another matter), but the last time I asked this was when I had first
moved over from mainframe COBOL to AS/400 RPG. (TOO many moons ago)

Can you specify the same file name (physical or logical) more than once in
a program?

I want to process 2 separate records by using the same key, or do I have to
create a new logical with the same key as the file that already exists?

I almost forgot - we are on V5r4


As always - many thanks in anticipation
