RE: Logical file index size too small?

["Walden Leverich" <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The access path will be shared only if the select/omit logic is dynamic -- 
unless the logical in question has identical s/o criteria. 

Which leads to an interesting question: If I have 2 logicals, one keyed Fld1, 
Fld2 with STATIC select where Fld3 = 'C' and the other keyed Fld1, Fld2 with 
DYNAMIC select where Fld3 = 'C' will the second logical share the access path 
of the first?
