Re: Can "RUNQRY *N SomeLF" be displayed in key sequence?

If you look at the same physical file via RUNQRY N file_name(LF) then F4, via a variety of different logical files, it displays the data in the logical sequence of the LF's definition of what is the keys. That is how it works in BPCS where the physical file is NOT indexed, just a collection of data, using different logical definitions of what to include and what is the key sequence. 

Keys and Key sequence being defined by the logical file.

I have no idea what would happen if the physical file itself is indexed.
When I look at the physical data via RUNQRY N then name of physical file, I get the helter skelter sequence of how the data was originally added to the file. 

You better off using a query definition to dictate sequence.


Can "RUNQRY *N SomeLF" be displayed in key  sequence?

Is it somehow possible to use the runqry command against a logical file
and have the records displayed in key  sequence?
