[SOLVED] Dynam Alloc Multiple Mainframe Files Using Same MFD

Hello all,

I want to allocate two versions of the same file using the same MFD.
For Example:
DYNAM ALLOC DD PLFILE DS FILE.M2011JAN SHR REU
DYNAM ALLOC DD PLFILE DS FILE.M2011FEB SHR REU

Is there a way to allocate the second file (feb) without having to create a new MFD name?

Thanks!

I don't wamt to concatinate the files.

I want to join them so I have the Jan and Feb fields on the same record and I can subtract the difference. Thanks

It's concatenate.

And JOINing them with the same Masterfile name would "not" do that???

Table them out, 1 at a time, and HOLD them, using ASNAMES to uniquely identify the columns needed for math, then JOIN the HOLD files.

Seems to me that it would be easier to have a second master.
