<h1 class="topictitle1">Specify key fields from different files</h1>
<div><p>A dynamic keyed sequence access path over a join logical file allows
you to specify a processing sequence in which the keys can be in different
physical files (DDS restricts the keys to the primary file).</p>
<p>The specification is identical to the previous method. The access path
is specified using whatever key fields are required. There is no restriction
on which physical file the key fields are in. However, if a key field exists
in other than the primary file of a join specification, the system must make
a temporary copy of the joined records. The system must also build a keyed
sequence access path over the copied records before the query file is opened.
The key fields must exist in the format identified on the FORMAT parameter.</p>
<div class="section" id="rbafokfdf__rbafokfdfex1"><a name="rbafokfdf__rbafokfdfex1"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example: Specify key fields from different
files</h4><p>This example shows how to use a field in a secondary file
as a key field.</p>
<p>Assume that you already have a join logical file named
JOINLF. FILEX is specified as the primary file and is joined to FILEY. You
want to process the records in JOINLF by the <em>Descrp</em> field which is
in FILEY.</p>

following fields:</p>
