As I understand it, with "reuse deleted records" turnedon, arrival sequence ceases to be meaningful. Am Imistaken somehow? Fortunately, the file is keyed on afield such that key sequence is exactly the same asarrival sequence, so sequential-by-key processing wouldwork.

As to the use of a *DTAQ or *USRQ, that would be somewhatmore difficult to inspect.

The file couldn't live in QTEMP, because it's used bymultiple jobs.
