Re: LVLCHK(*NO) - Looking for a Techdoc on why this is a bad idea (x-posted to RPG & MIDRANGE)

Couple of things I've found so far:

First IBM Infocenter for 7.2
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/dbp/rbafoecffd.htm?lang=en
"Keep in mind that level checking is the preferred method of operating. The
use of LVLCHK(*YES) is a good database integrity practice. The results
produced by LVLCHK(*NO) cannot always be predicted."

All,

I'm looking for a bigger stick than my own knowledge to use to beat some
sense into a vendor with regards to the use of LVLCHK(*NO).

Is anybody aware of a authoritative document on the subject?

I'd assume such a document would also go into the alternative solution of
"logical file access only" whereby all native RLA I/O is done via logical
files with explicit formats.



Thanks!
Charles
