Answer / amit k singh

If you are using FIFO,LIFO,FCFO then you can't see the impact by using the runqry command as fifo,lifo,fcfo are used to retrieved the duplicate key records.

so you have to retrieve the records from the file using rpgle program.simply write a program to read a file which is using these file level keywords.:)
