Answer / ankur jain

Yes, we can.....
But both the libraries should be defined in the library
list ...... otherwise compilation error will occur while
compiling the logical file..

Answer / amit

Yes..for that u have to specify the actual data path in
keyword PFILE

Like

A R A1 PFILE(AMIT/A2)
A K CODE

Then this will create the LF A! for A2 PF...

Answer / nagavarapu muralidhar

Yes, Just put the user library in which you want to create
on top and followed by other library in which physical file
is located.

provided the first library should not have physical file.

Then try to create the logical.

Answer / megha

Yes , we can create logical file from a pf in different
library. Only proble here is that when we tried access the
data from this LF , the data will be accessed from that
libary not from the LibrayList

Answer / vijay

Yes you can create a LF on the Physical file present in any other library except QTEMP. you cannot create a LF on the physical file present in QTEMP

Answer / samul

It can possible that PF may be in other lib....

Just go though the basic concept first and then place ur
questions...

Where the QTEMP library will get created? if the the answer is QSYS, then howcome more than one job can create same library name(QTEMP) in QSYS? what is the uniqueness of QTEMP? For example, run the below command in different workstation WRKOBJ QSYS/QTEMP And take 8 in the option to check the description. both will have different info. so where(which LIB) exactly the QTEMP is stored?
