Re: OPNQRYF mixed results

[email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (James W Kilgore)]

John,

I don't know if this will apply to your situation, but we ran into a
similar problem when the OPNQRYF referenced a file that had a shared
ODP.

What you may find out is that if you run your job, first thing after
signon, you get a predicable (repeatable) result, but if you have any
application activity, the file cursor may be pointed to the last record
accessed and therefore obtain varying results.

But then again, I had a programmer who, as a joke, placed a wildcard
into a job stream that was only active on odd numbered Thursday's. 
Liked the guy, fired him.
