We have been discussing changing from Logical files to Stored PRocs

the Crystal Reports which access the AS400 data.

By mention of "IFS" does that mean to imply /stream files/ will be used, and if so... How? If the data is stored in database files, moving the data to stream files only to then consume them seems much more complicated and slower than directly accessing the data from the database files.

What about the use of Data Que. these were always considered the
fastest way to send data out of the AS400?

The *DTAQ can be used to send and receive data betwixt the server and the client. As to /fastest/ however, I think that claim could be accurate only as applied specifically to some particular scenario. I doubt the methods of database transport of rows would be easily eclipsed by any replacement method defined using data queues.
