Primary/Secondary Multi-file Processing. In an RPG IV program, the processing of a primary input file and one or more secondary input files, with or without match fields, is termed multi-file processing.

A multi-user system, by definition, supports concurrent processing of multiple tasks (once known as time-sharing) or true parallel processing if it has multiple CPUs. While batch processing systems often ran jobs for serveral users concurrently, the term multi-user typically implies interactive access.

This arrangement was eventually superseded by networked personal computers, perhaps sharing files on a file server.
