Hi Mike,
I have a physical file, when I add records to it via
the RPG prog. they are not sorted. The key is
co,div,acct.
A keylist is used to control the access path of a file, not the physical
sequence in which the file is sorted. When you read the file by key,
you will get it in the correct sequence. If you just view the physical
data, it won't be in sequence, because you're not going by key.
yet the new records go to the back of theline, rather
than where they sb.
I have no idea what "back of the line" means? On a file that doesn't
reuse deleted records, the records should always be added to the very
end. On a file that does re-use deleted records, they should go in the
spot where the deleted record was.
Again, when you read the data using the keys, you'll get it into keyed
sequence.
If you want to physical sort the file according to it's keyed sequence,
use RGZPFM with KEYFILE(*FILE) to physically reorganize the file into
keyed sequence. However, there's really no advantage to doing that
unless the physical sequence matters for some reason.
If I've misinterpreted your question, please clarify what you meant.
