Re: OPNQRYF mixed results

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

I have seen this happen when the OPNQRYF selected an access path 
that did select/omit.  I found the problem by starting debug before the 
query ran and looking at the optimization information after it ran.  This 
happened several times and was corrected several times.  This happened 
quite some time ago, about V3R1-7.

I am having a strange problem that I would like to know if anyone else is
experiencing.  At one client (seems to be only one...) we have some reports
that use OPNQRYF, that select records and print them.  Fairly conventional,
there is some selection and sorting going on in the query, but nothing
extravagant.  The problem we are having is that one day I can run the
reports and the next day, run the same report (on history not current data),
and the numbers change.  Actually, what I think is happening is that some
records are not being selected in one and they are on the other.  We can
compare the identical reports run on different days, and see that there are
records not on one and on the other.

I would almost say that it seems, OPNQRYF is not picking up all records on
one, but later it does.  Unfortunately, this is not something we can
duplicate until it happens, then running the report again - it gets fixed
(the records show up).

They are current on PTF's (as of a couple of months ago) on 4.3.  Has anyone
else seen or heard of anything like this?

Thanks

john
