PATH-GROUP Statement

The PATH-GROUP statements define, modify, delete, display, or punch processing paths for a specific logical record. At runtime, LRF services program requests by following one of the paths to access the logical record.

For each logical record, at least one path group, and at most four (one for each DML verb that can access the logical record), must be defined. A path group can contain any number of paths. Which path LRF uses at runtime is determined by selection criteria, both in the path group and in the program requesting LRF's services.

The subschema compiler applies PATH-GROUP statements to the current subschema.
