Re: Getting the number of records in non-keyed logical files?

A 5 second loop!?!?  Let me guess, something that could have easily been 
handled by a trigger, been less processor intensive on the i, and, been 
more responsive to immediately processing the new entries, by simply using 
a trigger, yet no one wants to do it that way because it might take 3 
minutes to download a sample trigger program, modify it and not have to 
worry about someone cancelling their never ending job, restarting it after 
IPL, etc.
I got people I work with doing the same stuff, so I feel your pain.
