Re: Is it possible to do this with key fields?

I have to point you to the SQL Reference - saw some stuff about OPTIMIZE settings. The CRTSQLxxx commands have an ALWCPYDTA parameter.

OPTIMIZE(*FIRSTIO) can be done with the OPTIMIZE FOR n ROWS clause on the SELECT - see the reference.

Now we know why not much gets changed in old software! ;-)

Good luck

Vern, the application in question is strictly an inquiry subfile (list of vendors), so this is
input-only. The problem I am dealing with is that the program was poorly written and I am making
what would normally be a simple modification.

I think that, because of the minor impact of the new problem, the SQL solution you propose may
become strictly academic now. However, I would still be interested in investigating this for
future purposes. Does SQL have an option like OPNQRYF's OPTIMIZE(*FIRSTIO) to open up the file
quickly?

TIA, Dan
