David,

Tis is a fact of life with any type if indexed file accessed by PowerHouse
on MPE/iX (especially QTP). Add a 'SET FILE subfile OPEN EXCLUSIVE' after
the ACCESS statement. Improves speed of non-indexed files as well.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had the following experience...

In Quiz, I can...
> ACCESS subfile
> SET REPORT LIMIT 999999
> GO
and it's fast.

If I create an indexed version of the subfile, and do the same thing...
> ACCESS subfile
> SET REPORT LIMIT 999999
> GO
it talks a very long time.

Anyone know why? And how to speed this up?
