 |  THANKS alexei
 |  here is what showed up as a result
 |     4 - The cost to use this access path, as determined by
 |  the optimizer, was
 |
 |   higher than the cost associated with the chosen access method.
 |
 |
 |  my file has only 1 keyfield.  that is the orderby in my select.
 |
 |  How can that have a higher cost, than it doing a sort.
 |  Makes no sense to
 |  me.

 |
 |  This message should have explanation (in the second level
 |  text) of why
 |  optimizer chose not to use access path in favour of sort:
 |        All access paths were considered for file QACAT00.

 |  Ok Darren,
 |
 |  here is the actual select statement that is being declared.
 |
 |  'SELECT QCCAT, QCCACT FROM QACAT00   ORDER BY QCCAT '
 |
 |  here is part of the joblog when i run it through debug
 |   Embedded SELECT completed.
 |   PREPARE of statement #SEL completed.
 |   Unable to retrieve query options file.
 |   All access paths were considered for file QACAT00.
 |   Arrival sequence access was used for file QACAT00.
 |   Temporary result file built for query.
 |   ODP created.
 |   Blocking used for query.
 |   Cursor CTLCURS opened.
 |
 |
 |  The keyfield in the file is 'QCCAT'
 |
 |  here is the code that builds and opens the cursor.

 |
 |  Quite right Gary.  Mike, if you could paste in the actual
 |  statement and
 |  identify the key fields in the file perhaps we could narrow down the
 |  reasons for you.
