It depends on the situation. Whenever any update, delete or
add is performed on file, access data paths to the logicals
are also updated hence if data is very huge in the file it
will take toll on system response time for doing the
update, delete or add operation.Hence take a call based on
this consideration. Also, if you want to create a view on a
physical file for not so frequent use its better to use
OPNQRYF.

Answer / adarsh
It depends on the frequency of accessing the records from
physical file. If records are huge and frequency of
accessing them is high then go for LF , but if records are
huge or less but Frequency is minimal then go for QPNQRYF
as it does not create a permanent object.

Answer / m nihar
OPNQRYF is better then LF. Coz , OPNQRYF creates temporary
access path but LF creates permanent objects.
When we use all fields of your file then we use OPNQRYF for
temporaryly use. But when we use some choosen fields from
file then we use LF.
