Re: Key a logical file by date within a timestamp field

I have a physical file, that contains a timestamp field (type z) Is
there any way to create a logical over this physical but ONLY using
the date within that timestamp as part of the key?
As always, any and all responses MUCH appreciated


Not sure of the logical value in doing that, but...

Since v6r1:

create table myZ (Z timestamp)
;
create index myZix on myZ
( date(Z) as L DESC )
rcdfmt myZtoL ADD ALL COLUMNS
;
