I would have to say a logical file is a data file built over a physical
file.
The other would be a combined or joined logical file - a combined
logical (over 2 physical files with the same data fields) to produce a
data file - or - a join logical file joins 2 or more physical files
together to form a data file. 

It either of these cases you can have the logical files create a file
with all of the records or just a few records in it (by selecting or
omitting data).

I hope this helps?

Jim
