RE: How to create a jeyed file without DDS


Denis,

If you are thinking of creating a flat file with an index composed of a
single 'field', then it should not be too difficult to create a DDS
source member on the fly within an RPG or COBOL program.  You only have
three combinations of stuff:  field1-key-field2,field-key, or key-field.
Then calculate the lengths based upon record and key lengths, create the
DDS and issue a CRTPF against it.  I'm sure that I'm forgetting
something, but it really doesn't sound too difficult and could be a fun
little utility.
