You can create an Enscribe entry-sequenced, key-sequenced, relative, or
unstructured file using DDL, but NCL does not support access to relative or
unstructured files (except edit files). Section 12, “Working With Files,” discusses
Enscribe files in more detail.
A key-sequenced file created using DDL has a key. When you open the file by
using the FILE OPEN verb or set the current characteristics of the file using the
FILE SET verb, you must specify KEYEXTR=NO. Otherwise, when you are
adding a record to the file using the FILE ADD or FILE PUT verb, the current
value of the &SYS.FILE.KEY system variable is inserted before the key you have
defined using DDL (to which you have assigned a value in the NCL process). See
Section 12, “Working With Files,” for more information on the affect of the
KEYEXTR operand.
