<h1 class="topictitle1">Use existing access path specifications</h1>
<div><p>The keyword REFACCPTH in data description specifications (DDS)
allows you to use another file's access path specifications. When the file
is created, the system determines which access path to share. </p>
<p>The file using the REFACCPTH keyword does not necessarily share the access
path of the file specified in the REFACCPTH keyword. The REFACCPTH keyword
is used to only reduce the number of DDS statements that must be specified.
That is, rather than code the key field specifications for the file, you can
specify the REFACCPTH keyword. When the file is created, the system copies
the key field and select/omit specifications from the file specified on the
REFACCPTH keyword to the file being created.</p>
