Thanks for confirming my suspensions.  Great tool but poor implementation
IMO.

Subject: EOF Delay (was RE: Changing triggers)


I can try.  Using EOF delay (AFAIK) really only works for addition of new
records literally past the current end of file.  I don't think it works for
keyed updates, and I'm pretty sure inserting at a record number lower than
the record number at end of file (in the case of RRN access in a
reusedlt(*yes) situation) probably won't cause the read statement to get the
record.

I know it's really a long URL, but here's the search I did for EOFDLY,
jumping to the appropriate  discussion:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AUC01/2.3.2.3?ACTION=
MATCHES&REQUEST=EOFDLY&TYPE=FUZZY&searchTopic=TOPIC&searchText=TEXT&searchIn
dex=INDEX&rank=RANK#FIRSTHIT

So, when I use it, the file that captures the additions has no keys, and I
just 
ovrdbf somefile eofdly(30)
call somerpg

And somerpg reads the file processing every record.  The operating system
takes care to hand the records into the program every 30 seconds.

Sometimes it is beneficial to have a logical where the key is set to *NONE,
that has a select/omit statement such as recstat *ne 'P' (which means
processed in this case).  Periodically, I delete all the processed records
and reorganize the file.

Regards,
Rich
