Hi Neill
I believe the relative record number then comes into play.
That said, is the file set up to reuse deleted records, and then when a
copy of that file is done, any deleted records go away in the copy, and the
relative record numbers get resequenced.

Why are you asking?
What are you trying to prove or create?

If I have a unkeyed PF FILEA as follows:



Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4



I then have an LF LFA, with a non unique key of Field1,Field2,Field3



When there is more and one record with identical Field1,Field2 and Field3
columns, what controls the order of the remaining records.



Further to this, if I had 2 copies of FILEA in different libraries with
EXACTLY the same data in would you expect LFA in both libraries to show
the
records in exactly the same order?
