I have a non-keyed view (created with CREATE VIEW) that I need to

setll *start HOURCODER;

Factor 2 is the file or record format. *START is only valid with a file name, so I'm guessing that HOURCODER is a record format name.

SETLL *START works with both keyed files and rrn files.

*START is definitely better than *LOVAL for a keyed file; *LOVAL doesn't work properly if there are null-capable fields in the file.

*START probably works the same as 1 for a file processed by rrn, but using *START is a good habit.
