Joel,

Yes the logical file has select criteria.  The SQL "Order By" statement
matches the key to the logical, but the low level message says the optimizer
chose to build its own path (takes 3 minutes), rather than using the logical
(It thought it would be faster).  Running STRSQL using the same SQL
statement finds the correct logical and immediately displays the data.

Is there a way to tell the SQL engine not to find its own path, but instead
use the logical we defined in the SQL statement?

Thanks,
Steve

Does the Logical have any select and omit criteria?
