<div><p>Here are the principle requirements for join logical
|
|
files.</p>
|
|
<div class="p"><ul><li>Each join logical file must have: <ul><li>Only one record format, with the JFILE keyword specified for it.</li>
|
|
<li>At least two physical file names specified on the JFILE keyword. (The
|
|
physical file names on the JFILE keyword do not have to be different files.)</li>
|
|
<li>At least one join specification (J in position 17 with the JFLD keyword
|
|
specified).</li>
|
|
<li>A maximum of 255 secondary files.</li>
|
|
<li>At least one field name with field use other than N (neither) at the field
|
|
level.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>If only two physical files are specified for the JFILE keyword, the JOIN
|
|
keyword is not required. Only one join specification can be included, and
|
|
it joins the two physical files.</li>
|
|
<li>If more than two physical files are specified for the JFILE keyword, the
|
|
following rules apply: <ul><li>The primary file must be the first file of the pair of files specified
|
|
on the first JOIN keyword (the primary file can also be the first of the pair
|
|
of files specified on other JOIN keywords). <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Relative file numbers must
|
|
be specified on the JOIN keyword and any JREF keyword when the same file name
|
|
is specified twice on the JFILE keyword.</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Every secondary file must be specified only once as the second file of
|
|
the pair of files on the JOIN keyword. This means that for every secondary
|
|
file on the JFILE keyword, one join specification must be included (two secondary
|
|
files would mean two join specifications, three secondary files would mean
|
|
three join specifications).</li>
|
|
<li>The order in which secondary files appear in join specifications must
|
|
match the order in which they are specified on the JFILE keyword.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
