You do not need another logical.
What you need is an override for the second filename in both the compile
(you might want to create a CL to compile) and in the execution of the
program.
We use TurnOver here and just have to enter prerun commands to get the
compile to look at the right file for the compile. But we still need to
override the second filename to execute the program properly.

subject: 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
