<h1 class="topictitle1">REFFLD (Referenced Field) keyword—physical files only</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>Use this field-level keyword to refer to a field under one of these
|
||
|
|
three conditions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><div class="p">These conditions are: <ul><li>When the name of the referenced field is different from the name in positions
|
||
|
|
19 through 28</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When the name of the referenced field is the same as the name in positions
|
||
|
|
19 through 28, but the record format, file, or library of the referenced field
|
||
|
|
is different from that specified with the REF keyword</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When the referenced field occurs in the same DDS source file as the referencing
|
||
|
|
field</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The format of the keyword is: <pre>REFFLD([record-format-name/]referenced-field-name
|
||
|
|
[{*SRC | [library-name/]database-file-name}])</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The referenced-field-name
|
||
|
|
is required even if it is the same as the name of the field being defined.
|
||
|
|
Use the record-format-name when the referenced file contains more than one
|
||
|
|
record format. Use *SRC (rather than the database-file-name) when the field
|
||
|
|
name being referred to is in the same DDS source file as the field being defined.
|
||
|
|
*SRC is the default value when the database-file-name and the library-name
|
||
|
|
are not specified. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> When you refer to a field in the same DDS source
|
||
|
|
file, the field being referred to must precede the field being defined.</div>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Specify
|
||
|
|
the database-file-name (with its library-name, if necessary) to search a particular
|
||
|
|
database file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>An R must be in position 29. Some keywords specified
|
||
|
|
with the field being referred to are not included on the field being defined.
|
||
|
|
For more information, see the Reference for physical and logical files (position
|
||
|
|
29) topic.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you specify REF at the file level and
|
||
|
|
REFFLD at the field level in the same DDS source file, the REFFLD specification
|
||
|
|
is used. The search sequence depends on both the REF and REFFLD keywords.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You
|
||
|
|
can specify a distributed data management (DDM) file on this keyword.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When
|
||
|
|
using a DDM file, the database-file-name and library-name are the DDM file
|
||
|
|
and library names on the source system. The referenced-field-name and the
|
||
|
|
record-format-name are the field name and the record format name in the remote
|
||
|
|
file on the target system.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Interactive data definition utility (IDDU)
