Multi-Format logical Files (with keys) cannot be converted into an SQL
Index.
You can create a view with UNION Clauses, but Views cannot be keyed.
Indexes can only be created on a single file (or format) but not for
multiple formats.

The best way is to create a view and convert your native I/O into embedded
SQL or continue to use the keyed multiple-format logical file with native
I/O

Subject: multi format logical in sql

I have a multi format logical file. This file has some select omit criteria
and a couple of the formats use fields not in the others, and is keyed.

I'm trying to determine if I can recreate this via sql.

I think I have successfully created a select statement, but I'm not having
much luck creating a view or index

I thought that I might be able to remove the selection criteria and order
and create a view, then maybe create an index over the view

But I'm not having any luck at all.

Can I do this?

Any examples on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Mike
