Re: QPNQRYF question

Hello  Peter,

I do not completely understand your request, but I give it a shot:

Records with the same key value will be processed in arrival sequence, thus 
defining one filed on the KEYFIELD parameter can be used.

If you want to process data in the arrival sequence of one of those key fields, 
then create a LF and include only the fields you need for processing, define no 
key. No need for OPNQRYF there.

And last, but not least: perhaps the good, old RPG cycle can help out here.

Regards.
