Re: Primary key

WRKPFCST will show you the primary key, as well as referential and other unique key constraints associated with a PF. These are all different from the key that a PF can have when created with DDS. A PF can have multiple indexes this way, that are not separate LF objects.

Can anyone tell me how to identify the primary key of a physical file?

The easy out is dspfd <filename> type(*accpth). That's probably not what you had in mind though, because a logical view (index) can be created with the keyword UNIQUE, meaning that each key in the index must be exactly that. If that's your quandry, I can sympathize, but afaik, you're stuck with looking at each index (dspdbr) and recording the key attributes in a spreadsheet or something. You could easily have more than one unique key.
