Re: Clarification of DSPFD output

I believe the physical read is a read that actually goes out to disk to get the
record, where the logical read in the statistics below are reads that the record
was found in a page that was already in memory, and therefore a new read to disk
was not required to be performed.

    By the way, what gives with the disclaimer at the end of your message, are
you a lawyer masking as an AS/400 programmer?
