RE: DDL Record Select

[daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks to all for the responses.  We are at V5R4 so I will probably have 
to investigate the difference between an index and a view.  The end result 
that I want is a keyed, sorted logical file that does record selection. 
I'm trying to "modernize" my approach to such things but I'm still getting 
up to speed.  Rob mentioned the record format.  I've been creating the 
file with the record format name and then renaming it to the real file 
name so the record format stays with what I want it to be.  I was thinking 
that the ability to specify a record format name was a V6R1 thing.  As for 
why we're not on V6R1, it basically hasn't bubbled up on the priority list 
for those allocating the resources.
