Re: REUSEDLT(*NO) - what's the point?

Hello Vernon,

One cannot safely assume that the arrival order does not matter. The chances are that the technique of linked lists using RRNs is not in use, but you can't guarantee it. That used to be used for bills-of-materials in ERP products.

So it is still important to check before setting REUSEDLT(*YES).

Yes, you're perfectly right. I tend to forget that in the commercial environment, IBM i is mostly about existing software. My question was in hindsight of a special case of OS function, and other "easy" cases, where the RRN definitely doesn't matter, and all accesses to records are done by Index. The latter includes newly created tables for maybe even new applications.

:wq! PoC
