RE: Newbie DSPPFM

["Fisher, Don" <Dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are correct on all counts.  MYFILE is an object (type *FILE) on the
system that may contain one or more members.  In a sense, a member is an
object also, just as a chart is an object of an Excel Spreadsheet.  DSPPFM
is one "method" to access the member.

Hope that didn't confuse you furthur.

I understood that I was creating a SRC-PF file member, MYFILE,  in the
QDDSSRC file in my library for my physical file, MYFILE (whew!).  I also
thought I understood that the PF that was created after the compile of the
SRC-PF member was actually an object in my library (this is what the text
states)...however, the command to display the contents of the PF object,
MYFILE,  is DSPPFM (display physical file member).

So, is the file that actually contains the data a Member or an Object?  Did
I even understand the concept enough to explain my confusion correctly?  :-)
