Specify select/omit statements in join logical files

This topic discusses the rules for specifying select/omit statements in join logical files.

If you specify select/omit statements in a join logical file, the following rules apply:
  • The fields can come from any physical file the logical file uses (specified on the JFILE keyword).
  • The fields you specify on the select/omit statements cannot be fields defined as neither fields (N specified in position 38 for the field).
  • In some circumstances, you must specify the DYNSLT keyword when you specify select/omit statements in join logical files.
