Rob,

RPG will block for you but uses the same default blocking for all files.  If
you are sequentially reading a physical file, using the OVRDBF command with
SEQONLY(*YES 128k/record length) will improve your performance.  You don't
get much gain when using logical files because the data isn't necessarily in
the same sequence as the index.  This makes it hard to get sequential
records into memory at the same time.

Rick

I've had pretty good performance letting RPG do the blocking for me, on
primary files.  Your compile listing should have a warning message that
RPG will handle the blocking factor.

the same file, which will be effective ?
3) Which one is beneficial.
