<h1 class="topictitle1">Select records without using DDS</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Dynamic record selection allows you to request a subset of the
|
|
records in a file without using data description specifications (DDS).</p>
|
|
<p>For example, you can select records that have a specific value or range
|
|
of values (for example, all customer numbers between 1000 and 1050). The Open
|
|
Query File (OPNQRYF) command allows you to combine these and other selection
|
|
functions to produce powerful record selection capabilities.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafodynsrsex.htm">Select records using the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command</a></strong><br />
|
|
These topics provide examples of selecting records using the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafoksapwodds.htm">Specify a keyed sequence access path without using DDS</a></strong><br />
|
|
The dynamic access path function allows you to specify a keyed access path for the data to be processed. If an access path that can be shared already exists, the system can share it. If a new access path is required, it is built before any records are passed to the program.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafokfdf.htm">Specify key fields from different files</a></strong><br />
|
|
A dynamic keyed sequence access path over a join logical file allows you to specify a processing sequence in which the keys can be in different physical files (DDS restricts the keys to the primary file).</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafodynjf.htm">Dynamically join database files without DDS</a></strong><br />
|
|
The dynamic join function allows you to join files without having to first specify data description specifications (DDS) and create a join logical file.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafomrsjf.htm">Handle missing records in secondary join files</a></strong><br />
|
|
The system allows you to control whether to allow defaults for missing records in secondary files (similar to the JDFTVAL DDS keyword for a join logical file). You can also specify that only records with defaults be processed. This allows you to select only those records in which there is a missing record in the secondary file.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafoukp.htm">Unique-key processing</a></strong><br />
|
|
Unique-key processing allows you to process only the first record of a group. The group is defined by one or more records with the same set of key values. Processing the first record implies that the records you receive will have unique keys.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafofdefd.htm">Define fields derived from existing field definitions</a></strong><br />
|
|
Listed here are the operations allowed by defining fields derived from existing field definitions.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafodbz.htm">Handle the divide-by-zero errors</a></strong><br />
|
|
Dividing by zero is considered an error by the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command. This topic discusses how to handle the divide-by-zero error in case that you want a zero answer.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafogrp.htm">Summarize data from database file records (grouping)</a></strong><br />
|
|
The group processing function allows you to summarize data from existing database records.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafoftop.htm">Final total-only processing</a></strong><br />
|
|
Final-total-only processing is a special form of grouping in which you do not specify grouping fields. The output is only one record. All of the special built-in functions for grouping can be specified. You can also specify the selection of records that make up the final total.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafosropn.htm">Control how the system runs the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command</a></strong><br />
|
|
The optimization function allows you to specify how you are going to use the results of the query.</li>
