|
<div><p>This topic discusses the considerations for using the Open Query
|
||
|
|
File (OPNQRYF) command to arrange records.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The default processing for the OPNQRYF command provides records in any
|
||
|
|
order that improves performance and does not conflict with the order specified
|
||
|
|
on the KEYFLD parameter. Therefore, unless you specify the KEYFLD parameter
|
||
|
|
to either name specific key fields or specify KEYFLD(*FILE), the sequence
|
||
|
|
of the records returned to your program can vary each time you run the same
|
||
|
|
OPNQRYF command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you specify the KEYFLD(*FILE) parameter option for the OPNQRYF command,
|
||
|
|
and a sort sequence other than *HEX has been specified for the query with
|
||
|
|
the job default or the OPNQRYF SRTSEQ parameter, you can receive your records
|
||
|
|
in an order that does not reflect the true file order. If the file is keyed,
|
||
|
|
the query's sort sequence is applied to the key fields of the file and informational
|
||
|
|
message CPI431F is sent. The file's sort sequence and alternative collating
|
||
|
|
sequence table are ignored for the ordering, if they exist. This allows users
|
||
|
|
to indicate which fields to apply a sort sequence to without having to list
|
||
|
|
all the field names. If a sort sequence is not specified for the query (for
|
||
|
|
example, *HEX), ordering is done as it was prior to Version 2 Release 3.</p>
