One more note about the DDS selection method directly over the database MEMO field, like Charles mentioned. S MEMOFLD RANGE(GE x'06000000' x'06FFFFFF') ---same as--- S MEMOFLD COMP(GE x'06000000') MEMOFLD COMP(LE x'06FFFFFF') If the logical you are trying to use exists already in legacy applications, then adding a new field with SUBST keyword would change the record buffer, and could possibly cause some headaches with levelchecks. By REUSING an existing logical format, you can use COMP and or RANGE selection keywords to perform the subset WITHOUT changing the record layout. Just a quick OVRDBF in your new program would link to the type-6 records you occasionally want to see. Works great and eliminates impacts on legacy programs. See if you can get the system to reuse an existing access path. DYNSLT may help, if it fits your situation. Read about it. You just don't want to keep slapping on overhead for the system to maintain for just one program.
