A Table = non-keyed, Physical File
A View = non-keyed, single-format, Logical File
An Index = a keyed, non-join, single format, Logical File

RPG IV operations can be used in exactly the same manner as with the "native" (DDS + CRTxx) defined objects.

To complicate matters, don't forget you CAN use CHAIN, SETLL etc. on a View - if processing by relative record number, (i.e. non-keyed processing).

it's not that simple. A physical file created with DDS and a table created
with SQL are the same thing to RPG. If the table has an index, you can do
operations like Chain and Setll just like a DDS defined table.

Views are more complex. Views don't have indexes so the only thing that you
could do with a view in an RPG program is read it sequentially or write to
it.

An SQL index looks like a logical file to an RPG program so you could use
it like a logical file. That's not normally how you would do it. You would
define an SQL index and then define a logical and it should share the
access path (Index) and it is just another logical to RPG.

I am trying to help someone and clarify for me the following. I don't
think I am typing in my searches correctly. What I am looking for is:
What native RPGLE I/O can you do over a SQL Table?
What native RPGLE I/O can you do over a SQL View?
What native RPGLE I/O can you do over a SQL Index?
A chart something like:
I/O Table View Index
Read Yes Yes Yes
Reade No No Yes
Readp x x x
Readpe x x x
Chain x x x
SetLL x x x
SetGT x x x
Delete x x x
Write x x x
