Unless there is something that I do not know about views, they will notlink:
work. The data is physically stored in different members. I understand
that files can have fields to identify statuses, etc. but when your entire
core package works one way using members, it seem wrong to have your
customizations work completely different.
Some examples are:
Purchase orders that are being created/modified are stored in a "working"
member and are then copied to the *FIRST member and deleted from the
"working" member when they are released.
Daily sales are stored in members based on the store number. If there is a
problem with a specific store, it is left in the "working" member until it
is corrected and then the entire store gets moved to the *FIRST member.
The biggest benefit to the above two examples, is that anything else hitting
the database doesn't need to know all of the "rules" to know what is "valid"
data. If the data is in the *FIRST member, it is valid data.

Views will do it.

I work mostly with Island Pacific customers and the Island Pacific

around it is extremely multi-member dependent.
Is there any way to get multiple members in an SQL defined table (or
any plans to provide that functionality)? If not, we are stuck with DDS.

Regardless of which engine is being used and what language you are
programming in, you should be using SQL to define all new tables.

Hello all, can someone confirm what I've been told: "DDS defined
tables default to the old iseries SQL engine and are less efficient
using SQL"
which in context I'm told to use native I/O RPG to code instead of
embedded SQL if I am to use DDS files.
thank you!
