Logical File:
+ logical fle is provide access the data stored in one or more physical fles. The features

-. +ccess one or more physical fles in an arrival se"uence or in any single or multiple
feld .'ey/ value order.
0. + physical fle may be processed by any number of logical fles.
4. T,o or more logical fles may share the same access path.
1. 2mit and select criteria may be specifed in a logical fle to process only the
re"uired physical fle data.
3. + logical fle may include multiple record formats. 4ach format ho,ever must relate
to one or more physical fles and include at least one 'ey feld.
5. 2ne logical fle ,ith multiple record formats may process only the re"uired physical
fle data.
6. + logical fle ,ith multiple record formats may be used to process the data from
more than one physical fle. The fle record formats accessed may be of di7erent
lengths.
8 During processing a physical fle9s feld attributes may be changed by a logical fle.
:o,ever, the data stored in the physical fle not be modifed.
Logical fles may be specifed as either nonoin or oin. + non;oin logical fle processes
each record individually from one or more physical fles. <oin logical fles ho,ever create a
single record from the selected felds from t,o or more physical fles.
The t!"e of logical fle .non;oin or ;oin/ specifed is determined in the related DD! coding.
