Re: [EXTERNAL] Quick question on file behavior

In this case, while the PFs are non-keyed, I would be reading it through an LF that is keyed.

As it happens, out of the 1.4 million records, there are, via the intended logical's access path, three keys yielding more than one record (one yields three, and the other two yield two each).
