nope...until v6.1 views are unkeyed.

Even in release 6.1 views cannot have any key.

In release 6.1 SQL indexes now can have where conditions (just as
select/omit clauses in DDS described logical files)
It is also possible to add new (calculated) fields to an index.

CREATE INDEX MySchema/MyIndXX ON MySchema/MyTable
(Year(MyDate) AS DATEYEAR ASC, Upper(Col2) as UpperCol2 ASC, Col3
Desc)
WHERE Status in ('01', '07', '22', '47');

These indexes can be used by the query optimizer for executing SQL
statement, but they also can be used like any DDS described logical with
native I/O.

nope...until v6.1 views are unkeyed. in order to do a "chain" to the data
in the view you'll have to use embedded SQL.

Thanks,

I am creating an SQL view for a file that strips out the spaces in a
particular field. My question is if there is a why to set a key on that
new
view so a person can still CHAIN the file. We are on V5R3.
