Re: Logical File over identical files in separate libraries.

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No they do not.  I have a history table segregated into different 
libraries by year.  They all have the same record format.  I merge them 
into a single keyed logical via:

R BWDNAMR                   PFILE(HIST2002/BWDNAM)
                           PFILE(HIST2003/BWDNAM)
                           PFILE(HIST2004/BWDNAM)
                           PFILE(HIST2005/BWDNAM)
                           PFILE(HIST2006/BWDNAM)
                           PFILE(HISTORY/BWDNAM) 

(key fields follow)

The one thing that might bite is a backup of the library into which the 
LF is built (in this case HISTORY).  The backup will work, but the 
restore cannot restore the LF.  So I always delete the LF beforehand and 
rebuild it after the restore.
