>>I just want to understand ?how?. >Why?
I genrally say there is no stupid question, but this one is an exception. There is no use in asking why someone wants to understand how something works. The OP stated that he would like to get a deeper understanding. That should suffice to provide information if available instead tring trying to get justification on the why. No offence intended, Elardus, but you just did answer in a similar way to my query yesterday. I clearly stated that I'm curious to understand how OPEN works. I'm a curious guy. > I'm asking because you can't use RDW directly with standard methods. So you don't consider BSAM a standard way of working with data? I do not say it is used very often in all days programming, but I still consider this a standard method. And you do, well actually you must deal with RDWs and even BDWs yourself. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
