Shouldn't he be creating a view instead?

Dave,

You cannot tell an index to select certain records. You will need to
create a view selecting where NCSTAT = 'D' and you may want to create an
index over NCSTAT. Then you can use that view in sql statement as if it
was a file.

I would just use

CREATE INDEX V40NISCOF/NSCHGRQFL1 ON V40NISCOF/NSCHGRQF
(NCSTAT, NCNPROD) WITH 1 DISTINCT VALUES;

And change any native I/O (assuming this is possible ?) to use 'D' as
the first key.

Subject: DDL Record Select

I've got a file and index defined in DDL that I would like to only
select
records with a certain status. In DDS I would do something like:

A S NCSTAT CMP(EQ 'D')


How would I do this in DDL? My index is:

CREATE INDEX V40NISCOF/NSCHGRQFL1 ON V40NISCOF/NSCHGRQF
(NCNPROD) WITH 1 DISTINCT VALUES;
