Create as many format definitions as you want. Each format is a record type. BTW, unless you are on a S/36, and have no AS/400 capabilities I would not recommend doing this. Another method, would be to define a separate DDS for each record type, and then create the physical files. If you need to have these records within a single file, you can then create a multi-physical non-join logical file. David Abramowitz

IDDU is the old S/36 way of defining files. DDS is the newer AS/400 improved way. Learn DDS A.S.A.P.! Get off IDDU A.S.A.P.! O.K. - I'll admit it took me 8+ years to get rid of all my old IDDU definitions. Glad I was finally able to do it. Just an old mainframer caught in the Web!
