Re: More fun with native RLA on an SQL view

James,

IIRC, you can specify a record format for an index with V6R1.

Also, How are you doing the RLA of your view? Could you give us an example?
I think that some of my coworkers have read SQL views using RLA without
problems...

Uh, Rob, we're talking about VIEWS, not TABLES. And so far as I'm aware,
SQL has no concept equivalent to a keyed logical file, i.e., a construct
that imposes BOTH an index AND a format upon a physical file, OTHER THAN
what is intrinsic to the physical file. An index cannot reformat the
records; a view cannot resequence them, and there appears to be no way
within SQL to arc-weld the two together into a single construct
(although a DDS LF will use any existing SQL-generated index that is
relevant).

At any rate, though, the issue I bring up here (as opposed to the one I
bring up on the MI list) is that for some reason, RLA is failing to
honor the WHERE clause in an SQL view (so far as I'm aware, it's only
doing it for one record in one file), and I'm at a complete loss to
understand why.
