Re: Changeing records in a big file

Is it necessary that you have a documented log of the changes?  If not why
don't you use SQL?

Subject: Changeing records in a big file


> I have a 4 million record file that I need to change some records in if
they meet certain criteria.   What are some things I can do to speed this
up. obviously sequential reading of the file is out of the question at over
4 hours to run.  I would prefer not to use the SETLL if possible,  because I
don't want to have to go in to the file and see what record to start with.
