Hi Mark -

You can try an dynamically putting the 'correct' file in OPNQRYF statement
and using a format file in the RPG program instead of a logical file.
You'll have to specify OPTION(*ALL) in your OPNQRYF statement. Here is a
quick example.
<snip>
Oehhstwk is read full procedural. That's why the OPTION(*ALL)

OPTION(*ALL) means that you are doing not only input operations, but also update, add, and delete operations, and the open data path created by the OPNQRYF is set accordingly.


If you are only doing input, but you're doing CHAINs, READEs, etc., SEQONLY(*NO) is better than OPTION(*ALL).

Using OPTION for anything other than just input implies SEQONLY(*NO) but does more than just SEQONLY(*NO). If the file in the program is for input only, SEQONLY(*NO) is better.

Besides the fact that the ODP is opened for only input only, the query engine can do more to enhance the performance if it knows the file is going to be used only for input, such as making a temporary copy of a subset of the data.
