<h1 class="topictitle1">Use *NONE in the key field when creating a DDS file</h1>
<div><p>Key fields having the same key position should not be compared
under two conditions.</p>
<div class="p">The two conditions are: <ul><li>The key fields do not have the same field attributes (data type, length,
decimal positions, or access path keywords at the field level).</li>
<li>The key fields have the same attributes, but you do not want them to be
merged and sequenced together.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>To avoid unwanted comparisons between key fields, specify *NONE in place
of one of them and move the displaced key field to the next key position.
The operating system compares the values of key positions before and after
*NONE, but retrieves the affected records in the order in which the record
formats are specified in the DDS for the logical file.</p>
<p>You can specify *NONE two or more times on the following lines to displace
a key field to a key position for which a comparison of key field attributes
is relevant to your application.</p>
<p><a href="#nonekeyfield__cfig6a">Figure 1</a> shows *NONE as the key field.</p>

<p>In <a href="#nonekeyfield__cfig6a">Figure 1</a>, the attributes for FIELD2,
FLD2, and F2, must be identical. Because you specified *NONE
for the first key field of the second record, then FIELD1 and F1 (first key
field of the first record and first key field of the third record) must have
identical attributes. FIELD3 and F3 must also have identical attributes; there
is no corresponding field in the second record format.</p>
