Re: Database problem in 4.2 - Help

Bill,

We encountered something similiar a long time ago. It turned out that an index 
was being built over a large file everytime we accessed it (because of the open 
qerry file.) If you do a DSPFD over the database file, it should show the 
number of access paths that the system has had to build over the file. Also, we 
could not access the file while the index was being built.

IMB sent us a lot of PTF's, but the as I remember the final resolution was to 
rewrite the program so that it didn't use the OPNQRYF.

Help - we have an RPG/400 pgm reading an OPNQRY file (a join

 large files, accessed by an index). The pgm opens and in the
 job stack we
 see QDBGETKY executing. The pgm is obviously hung, and eats
 up all the CPU.
