Re: Logical Files

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Terri,

I just tried this (v5r3) and got the results that Scott pointed out in 
the Help text.  I.e., the 2nd logical is attached to the 2nd physical. 

Things get a little spooky if the original LF and PF are in different 
libraries (not something I recommend for this very reason).  See Scott's 
snippet - item #2.

The only other condition that I've seen this happen on is when the LF is 
copied before the PF, which you said wasn't the case.

A final note: You mentioned using the DSPFD command.  I'm speculating 
that that is a typo; I think you meant DSPDBR as that's the one that 
shows what LFs are attached to a PF.

My guess, then, is that the PF and LF were, originally, in different 
libraries.
