Re: Order

Guys,

Way back in '95, I learnt that it is efficient and good for performance to
have the most processed files in ascending order.  That is, if you're
reading a master file and branching off using CHAIN or READ to fetch other
information you should have your master file first in the F-SPEC.  Is this
your understanding too.  If so, how do first open file relate to this
concept of better performance programming.  Better performance programming
meaning less burden on the system.
