Hello Lim, You could put the subfile records into a data queue, maybe. I haven't ever defined them so big, but the command doc says you can create it with *MAX2GB, to let it grow to 2 gigabytes. I would probably rather put the records into a data queue in QTEMP rather than a physical file.. Once you got the subroutines or subprocedures set up initially, it could work as easily as, or better than, a physical file. Certainly it would run faster, if it makes much difference with the latest high-powered machines... I use data queues anyway for subfile processing, since I saw Kevin Vandever's (name?) tricks. (Lim wrote: - Main reason to put all the directory content in a qtemp physical file is to be able to sort them easily. If there is no sql keyword that can isolate the select result, my next option would be adding a activation group name field in the file and select records by this name.
