Figure 48 and Figure 49 show how to specify the JFILE keyword.

Figure 48. Specifying the JFILE Keyword (Example 1)

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A          R JREC                      JFILE(PF1 PF2)
00020A          J                           JOIN(PF1 PF2)
00030A                                      JFLD(NAME1 NAME2)
     A

In the join logical file, PF1 is the primary file and PF2 is the secondary file.

Figure 49. Specifying the JFILE Keyword (Example 2)

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A          R JREC                      JFILE(MYLIBA/PHYSICAL1 +
00020A                                      MYLIBB/PHYSICAL2 MYLIBC/PHYSICAL3)
00030A          J                           JOIN(1 2)
00040A                                      JFLD(FIELD1 FIELD2)
00050A          J                           JOIN(1 3)
00060A                                      JFLD(FIELD1 FIELD2)
     A

In the join logical file, file PHYSICAL1 in library MYLIBA is the primary file. File PHYSICAL2 in library MYLIBB and file PHYSICAL3 in library MYLIBC are secondary files.
