Sometimes, it can be useful to select all records from a physical file on the AS400, and to know what relative record number each one is. For example, this came up for me because I needed to be able to use DSPPFM and view the raw data, because one of the fields was in hexidecimal format and I needed to display it in hex mode to view it easier. This is how you do it:
SELECT RRN(A), A.*
FROM FILE1 A
The above statements selects the relative record number of each record, and then selects all fields from the file. This is by using the alias "A". The 2nd line declares A as the alias for FILE1, so that the first instruction knows what file it is supposed to query.
thanks for this - helped me a lot today!
