TPFDF ? B+ Tree Multiple Lrec Type Index

TPFUG_Req_Number: DF13201
ORIGIN DATE: March 29, 2013
REQUIREMENT ABSTRACT
Provide ability for TPFDF B+Tree index to handle MULTIPLE Lrec Types

REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION
Currently TPFDF B+Tree Function handles only One Logical Record type. Making it very restrictive to be used and requiring that Multiple Databases need to be build each having only one LREC type.

SOLUTION CONSIDERATIONS

1) To minimize changes to existing applications.
2) Allow also that the INDEX items can have multiple LRECS. In any case this is not top priority but would be nice.

Options
-------
1) An initial release may be limited to deal only with detail files having multiple lrec types indexed by b+Tree
2) Future releases would introduce B+Tree being able to also deal with multiple LREC types in the Middle or top indexes.

    While IBM believes the idea to be sound, we do not intend to do this in the foreseeable future.
