PF stands for physical file whereas LF stands for Logical file. PF stores data in memory whereas LF does not store data in memory, it’s an access path or a view over one or more PFs. CRTPF command is used to create PF object whereas CRTLF command is used to create LF object. PF can exist independently whereas a LF cannot exist without PF. PF can have only one record format whereas the LF can contain 32 record formats. PF cannot be deleted if any LF exists over it and LF can be deleted without deleting its parent PF. The DSPDBR command is used with PF to get all dependents and the DSPFD command is used with LF to get its parent PF.
