<div><p>This topic discusses the rules for specifying key fields in join
logical files.</p>
<div class="section"><div class="p">If you specify key fields in a join logical file, the following
rules apply: <ul><li>The key fields must exist in the primary physical file.</li>
<li>The key fields must be named in the join record format in the logical
file in positions 19 through 28.</li>
<li>The key fields cannot be fields defined as neither fields (N specified
in position 38 for the field) in the logical file.</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="section"><p>The following example illustrates the rules for key fields:</p>
