So true Jim, those were so hard to figure out.

Even more bad memories.

Cheers,

RRNs were easier to fix than the link-lists in MAPICS earlier versions.
Those were beast. Thank the good Lord for DB2, and the end of that foolishness.....

That brought back some really bad memories Vern. Long weekends trying
to fix that kind of issue in a manufacturing system.

Things have definitely improved so, so much over the years.

There was a day when things like MAPICS used RRN to connect items in a
bill of materials. A reorganization could mess that up, IIRC, and
probably reusing deleted records, too.

Gone be the good old days, eh?

The problem can be if you reorganize using at index (LF) .. that
will change the physical order and there by the rrn. So I would
never use the rrn as the primary key if you look for robust solution.

All,

We are using an audit tool that pulls from our journal and then
outputs to a file. Usually we are good to go, but this time I see
that we don't have this file keyed in a way that we can easily tie
out
to it.
We can build a view use the RRN as that is captured in the file and
tying out to the RRN in the primary file and capture a key
field(s), but the question came up as to would the RRN in the
primary file ever change if we did a Reorg on the file or if the
file is set up to reuse
deleted records?

Thanks,
Ken M.
