Not a view, because it is unkeyed, but a derived index.
Indexes can be used like any keyed logical file, also in OPM programs!

I have a situation where I have a key field that was defined by
mistake
as
a variable length field. This is not a problem for ILE programs but it
is
not allowed for a OPM RPG program where we need to add a new file to
the RPG code.
I am trying to see if its possible to convert the field to a fixed
length
field in a logical file?
Does anyone have some feedback?
You can create an SQL VIEW that CASTs the VARCHAR column as CHAR.
Sincerely,
Dave Clark
