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
