Did you create an index or a view?  Views aren't keyed but indexes are.  I 
don't think you can do selection with SQL views though.

If you need random access to the file there is a substring keyword in DDS that 
should help.

Subject: CHAIN to an SQL LF?


I have a file with a memo field, and I want an LF over this file that
only shows records where the first character of the memo field
contains a '6'.  I dont' know that there is a way to do this using
DDS, so I have built an SQL LF using the RUN SQL SCRIPTS applet over
the file, that only selects records based on this condition.  The
problem is I can't CHAIN to this file because it is non-keyed.

Is there a way to create an SQL LF with 'keys'?  

I don't have the iSeries SQL development LPs either...
