Ken, I had temporarily forgotten (not unusual) your earlier suggestion. Thanks! it did the trick nicely. To all others who answered, thank you as well. This is a really a topic that I would really like to be further discussed, as it relates to legacy database systems. see my question in the archives: http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200403/msg01438.html Thanks again, Rick ------original message----------- Hi Rick - >ok, reasonable enough. so I change the opnqryf and the index to match each >other better, while having the same results. > >CREATE INDEX HISTRY4LA > ON HISTRY4 (HPEROD, HITEM, LMRKTC) > >and > >OPNQRYF FILE((HISTRY4)) >QRYSLT('HPEROD *EQ "06" *AND HITEM *NE 0 *AND LMRKTC *NE "00"') >KEYFLD((HPEROD) (HITEM) (LMRKTC)) > >I ran again, and it says it considered my index, but rejected it because of >reason 4. > 4 - The cost to use this access path, as determined by the optimizer, was >higher than the cost associated with the chosen access method. Try the same thing but with OPTIMIZE(*FIRSTIO) as I suggested previously. OPTIMIZE(*FIRSTIO) tells the optimizer that you want the first record as quickly as possible, so it is much less likely to build an access path itself. Ken http://www.ke9nr.net/
