RE: SETLL on a multiple record format Logical file

[Vance Stanley <w_vance_stanley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Amit, 

 I hope I understand the problem. If you have a
logical that is composed of multiple files. You can
control them consistently by performing SETL's to the
record names. When a successful SETL is performed then
read the logical file name. 

   Example: 
    We have a G/L Logical(GLLF1) over 2 FILES: 
        GLPF1 is current year G/L
        GLPF2 is prior years G/L
    Record names are GLRF1 and GLRF2  
    repectively.

    I have a report program that recieves a year month
    parm to provide a G/L listing. 

   YTDKEY    KLIST                
             KFLD           YEAR 
             KFLD           MO   
    
   YTDKEY    SETLLGLRF1                    11
   *IN11     IFEQ *OFF                       
   YTDKEY    SETLLGLRF2                    11
             ENDIF                           

        READ GLLF1

   ETC.....                     
                  
   I hope this helps. If I missed this one be kind 
   I'm starting to get old.
