Re: Chaining with a very large file

ah, I see.
Then the only other thought I would have on this is to use data queues. That allows several employee numbers to run at the same time.

I am not sure what you mean. Yes, I am changing every record, but not at the same time. We are rebadging 
the employees one at a time as they come in to get new badges. And compared
to SQL, the programs do fly. There are 600 plus files, and RPG reads all of
them and renumbers the employee in a little over 1 minute. Cant get much
faster that that. That includes the time to call multiple programs (6 as I
recall) each processing about 100 files. I know there are more elegant ways
of doing this, but this is not going to stay in production after everyone is
completed. Consequently, I wrote it as fast as I could.
Thanks
