. . . or do a DDS logical file instead. In SQL, a VIEW and an INDEX
are completely separate entities.
FWiW: A CRTLF for a DDS keyed LF is not helpful to directly replace
the VIEW as defined in the OP. Such a database file can not be created,
because the ORDER BY included a column from a secondary file in the join.
Yet even if the file could be created to imply the collation, the OP
would be restricted to using the RLA vs the SQL access in order to take
advantage; i.e. an ORDER BY would still be required in any query of the
file, to ensure the collation of the result set is predictable.
Plus, if a DDS keyed LF could suffice [e.g. non-join], then there
would be little need to use DDS when the SQL DDL to CREATE INDEX could
probably effect a keyed Access Path sufficiently similar to whatever the
CRTLF might.
