Re: Record Number

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I purposely did not put in the 'K' in the F-Specs thinking that
this would process them in record number sequence.  Was I
wrong in this assumption?  If there is a key attached to the file,
and I use the 'K' spec, doesn't' it then process it in key order
instead of sequential order?

Thanks for info on the IFDS, I do wish this list was archived,
I know I've seen it before.

Regards,

Jim Langston
