RE: OPNQRYF a flat file?

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would copy the flatfile to a temporary copy of ASNPK and OPNQRYF on that.
CPYF with FROMRCD(1) and FMTOPT(*NOCHK) would copy the records to
QTEMP/ASNPK very fast, unless your talking lots of records.

Subject: OPNQRYF a flat file?


Can OPNQRYF be used on a non-externally described flatfile?  The flatfile
maps
to a file that is externally described, and will eventually be copied to
files
with the externally described format, but first I have to run the flatfile
through OPNQRYF to determine all the unique release numbers found in the
file.
 Note that ASNPK is the externally described file and DANBALEZ is the
non-externally described flatfile.  ORRNPK is the Release Number field,
defined as 7-digits, zoned decimal.
