logical file in as400

A logical file does not contain any data. It simply provides services such as indexing, data mapping, etc


Logical files do not contain data. 
------------------------------------------------------------------
A logical file determines how data records are selected and defined when read by an application program. A logical file can be a simple, multiple format, or join logical file.
A simple logical file contains one record format and has one file specified on the PFILE keyword. A multiple format logical file either contains more than one record format or has more than one file specified on the PFILE keyword. A join logical file contains one record format and has up to 256 files specified on the JFILE keyword.

Logical files may be specified as either nonjoin or join. A nonjoin logical file processes each record individually from one or more physical files. Join logical files however create a single record from the selected fields from two or more physical files.
