RE: multi format logical in sql

Thanks

I had used the Union on my select.

However, I was trying to incorporate this into an old rpg program using setll, read
Without totally rewriting, since it is vendor code.

No.

Best you can do is a UNION
select <...> from file1
UNION ALL
select <...> from file2

however, you have to have a compatible set of columns from both files.

select charfld1 as fld1, ' ' as fld2, numfld2 as fld3 from file1 UNION ALL select char(numfld1), charfld2, 0 from file2

I have a multi format logical file. This file has some select omit

I'm trying to determine if I can recreate this via sql.

I think I have successfully created a select statement, but I'm not
having much luck creating a view or index

I thought that I might be able to remove the selection criteria and
order and create a view, then maybe create an index over the view

But I'm not having any luck at all.

Can I do this?

Any examples on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Mike
