That interpretation obscures the effects of the original coding, whereby the file effectively had been declared twice in the program. There would have been two ODPs to perform as originally written, one Open Data Path used for insert\write, and the other ODP used for the update. In either scenario coded above, the logic could be satisfied with just one native\RLA OPEN for update; i.e. more efficiently than having used both the SQL INSERT and RLA update. Not to dismiss however that the use of SQL for INSERT may have allowed for more efficiency in a coding task, esp. had the RLA update logic already existed.
