Denis, if you are truly trying to rid your system of the BLDFILE issue then also consider gtting rid of the matching DELETE FILE. It provides some system performance improvements too. My experience is that the BLDFILE command is better fixed by replacing it with CRTDUPOBJ, and build those files once somewhere, then never build them again. If the CRTDUPOBJ fails then do a CLRPFM on the object. After that, look for file deletes and replace them with CLRPFM. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@MartinVT.com --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: midrange-l@midrange.com Date: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 10:46:27 AM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: How to create a jeyed file without DDS Yes, that is the way I am going.

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. Andy Nolen-Parkhouse _______________________________________________
