OPNQRYF does not create a permanent access path; it builds
a temporary access path for the job that issues the command.
It is typically used for reports, but has great flexibility
because the "select" and "sequence" parts can be specified
at run time (as dynamic as SQL).  It pretty much supplants
FMTDTA these days because of that.

If you are still interested in samples of OPNQRYF, email
me directly so I don't clutter the list.  If you decide
to use OPNQRYF, perhaps we can send the sample code to
David for inclusion on his website...
