Re: Non-unique keys

Everyone agrees with you, but all of us have been burned at least once on these kinds of assumptions. If the file is ever sorted, reorganized, and a few other possibilities, in the future you will be surprised, as will who ever innocently reorganized the file.

None of us disagree with what you are finding, we are all just saying "Whoa, been there, done that. Didn't get the tee shirt."

If you had a file with REUSEDLT(*YES) then RRN may well not correspond to "arrival sequence".

But we've already established that this isn't the case, and so the only way it wouldn't correspond would be if the RRN were deliberately overridden (q.v. Dave McKenzie's UNDEL2), which doesn't seem too likely.
