You could update based on key value. If the key = 11 now, then setll for the key -10 and update that record, then add 10 to it, something like that. As a rule inherent in the database, I am not sure. Interesting question. -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of brian Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 10:08 PM To: rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: log file Is there something I can do to a file to cause it to keep the last <= n records added to it? That is, if n is 10, writing the 11th record would cause record 1 to be discarded, and the new record would be the 10th record in the file. Something like that would be useful in the case of a log file. The file is helpful for diagnosing recent problems, but you don't want it filling up the disk, or filling up and being unable to write more records.
