Increased productivit: !ecause multiple -./D operations area not re0uired ith
%oin logical fles the coding in -)1+2,, programs is simplifed.
I!proved per"or!ance: !ecause a %oin logical fle builds only one record the
processing, program performance is improved. 3nly one -./D 4or #5/678 operation
has to be specifed instead of multiple -./D9s 4or #5/67s8 to open for non%oin
logical fle processing. Furthermore, if a program has feer open data paths, the
%ob9s )/1 4)rocess /ccess 1roup8 si:e is reduced. This saves data storage and
facilitates faster program loading.

Join logical fles are -./D only fles and may not be used in update processing.

supported.
They may reference from < to =< physical fles. The physical fle specifed may be in

than once, it may be %oined to itself.
/ny 'ey feld specifed must be included in the primary fle.

Join Logical File Keywords. The steps in building a %oin logical fle include the folloing.
