Re: Multi-file logical needed

["Peter Colpaert" <Peter.Colpaert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Booth,

I got it sorted out.

Turns out I was mistakenly thinking that a multi-format logical can only
show one format at a time ("runqry *n" only gives the first record format,
and SQL won't touch the thing with a very long pole).

I have meanwhile gotten to a point where I can, in an RPG program only
though, run through the logical and get all records in order, no matter
from which physical it comes. ?One caveat: I have to use the file name, not
the record name.

And when i rename the records to a common name, it works like a charm.

Thanks to those who responded.
