Thank you for the responses. I'm trying to select (via OPNQRYF for now),
on status, and then a range on the new timestamp field. It's reading in
arrival order and it's taking a long time.

I create another logical file with the key fields (status, date, time) but
that isn't being used. Running the opnqryf doesn't have any other
suggestions.

Hi Art

I suggest using the TIMESTAMP_FORMAT function - I find that it simplifies
the look of the thing - you make a character string - you don't need to
insert those colons for the time - then specify a format string.

So it might be like this - timestamp_format(date(yourdate) ||
digits(yourtime4), 'YYYY-MM-DDHH24MM')

I'm not at a machine, so check the format characters for the time. Also
verify the character format for the date.

Regards
Vern

Jack,

Views cannot contain the order by clause.

SQL statements referencing the View will utilize the existing indexes on
the table, so you'll just need to add the order by to the SQL statement
referencing the SQL View.

Thank you. I came up with this. I'll try yours. How can I add an order
by?

CREATE VIEW WHSDww.WHSSN06 (sndid#, snentrydt, snentrytm, sntimestamp,
snentryusr, snstatus2)
as select sndid#, snentrydt, snentrytm,
timestamp(
char(snEntryDt) ,
substr(digits(snentrytm),1,2)
|| ':' ||
substr(digits(snentrytm),3,2)
|| ':00'
),
snentryusr,
snstatus2

from whsdww.whssn00

Jack,

Just add this as a column expression in the View.

Timestamp(ENTRYDT, Insert(Digits(ENTRYTM),3,0,'.') Concat '.00') As
ENTRYTS

Subject: SQL Create View Timestamp

I'd like to try to create a view so that I can make a timestamp field.
I
have an existing PF with an ISO date and a 4 digit numeric time. How

can I

create a view that will give me a timestamp?

The table is WHSSN00 and the field names are ENTRYDT and ENTRYTM.

Thanks, Art (Still googling and experimenting)
