Logical Files

I have physical file with 10 Members. I wanted to create logical file with 10 members based on Physical file members during compilation. Can you help me to create logical file with 10 members?

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

When you issue the CrtLF or ADDLFM (add logical file member) use F4 for prompting you will see that both commands allow you to specify which physical file members are to be mapped by the Logical file member.

Can you clarify if you want your LF to have 10 members, one for each of 10 members in your PF? Or do you want your LF to have one member that includes 10 members of your PF all together? You might use the ADDLFM command in the first case. You might simply list the 10 PF members in the CRTLF DTAMBRS() attribute in the second case. The results may be very different depending on what you need. Tom

This may be unnecessary, but don't forget to set the MAXMBRS() parameter on your physical and logical files.
