RE: Logical File Access

FYI, because your question had nothing to do with programming in RPG.

Ken,
Thanks for your help.     If you can spare a minute, could you please
explain why this is a Midrange-L question, so I'll understand for the
future.

Tbanks !

Cindy

Hi Cindy -

>I have always thought the next logical order was RRN.     Can anyone
>explain why this logical keyed by 'Consol#' does not read in RRN order?
>THANKS !

This question belongs in the MIDRANGE-L list.  If you have any followup
questions please post them there.

If you don't specify it, that means you don't care about the order
beyond
the listed key field(s).  If this logical file can share an access path
and
that access path has additional key fields, this logical file will be
ordered according to the way that that logical file is ordered.

If you want to ensure that the records are in RRN order after the key
field(s), you need to say so by using the FIFO keyword in the DDS for
the
logical file.

Note that if you use this keyword, the physical file(s) cannot reuse
deleted records.
