I think it's down to either querying multimember LF (CQE) or unwieldy
multi-ALIAS UNION. If you go with the UNION, make sure you specify UNION
ALL to avoid DISTINCT processing.
If you go with multimember LF, make sure you have some keys on the LF for
query optimizer to use.

Subject: RE: ALIAS and VIEW

Thanks, Elvis. I was involved in that discussion, and I'm still confused a
bit <grin>. What I want is a view over several members of a file (or even
different files). I'm still not clear from reading that discussion if there
is or is not a way to do this.

The alternative is to create ALIASes over each member and then have to do a
lengthy UNION over the ALIASes.

But maybe I can create logicals over each member and then create a view over
the logicals.
