I assure you that the RRN is at the end of the index entry (unless,
of course, things have really changed).

So long as we're talking native RLA, then yes. That's how the index
values
are set.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have a file that is *not* uniquely keyed (the designer is apparently
ideologically opposed to allowing the OS to enforce uniqueness).

In my general observations, it has always been my *impression* that if
I'm going through a file in keyed sequence, via native RLA, records with
duplicate keys are presented in RRN sequence. But I am not certain of
that (and conversely, everything I've read about SQL-only databases like
MySQL says that the sequence in which records with the same key appear
in a result-set is neither predictible nor even necessarily repeatable).

But this is strictly DB2/400, via native RLA: If I am "Riding The RPG
Cycle" through the file, and I hit two or more records with the same
key, *can* I reasonably expect them to appear in ascending RRN sequence?
