Member operations common to all database files

 

The system allows you to make changes to file definitions. You can use control language (CL) commands to perform most of these operations.

• Adding members
  You can use several methods to add members to a database file.

• Changing member attributes
  You can use the Change Physical File Member (CHGPFM) or Change Logical File Member (CHGLFM) command to change certain attributes of a physical or a logical file member.

• Renaming members
  You can use the Rename Member (RNMM) command to change the name of an existing member in a physical or logical file; however, the file name is not changed.

• Removing members
  You can use the Remove Member (RMVM) command to remove a member and its contents from a database file.
