Re: changing keys of a physical file

Vern--

If I add an index via SQL, does it properly show up under DSPDBR? And does it exist as a true Logical File?

Without DDS (BTW, it's easy to create source for these - see below), you can use SQL and add constraints, both primary and unique. I don't believe the keys of a physical file are considered a primary index - I forget. There is not an ALTER CONSTRAINT - you must DROP the old one and ADD the new one. Or you can CREATE INDEX in SQL to generate new ones. Again, there is not an ALTER INDEX, so it's a DROP/ADD process.
