RDOHELP72.HLB  —  PLACE
    Returns the dbkey of a specified record. The PLACE statement
    lets you determine the target page number for records that are
    to be loaded into the database. The PLACE statement is similar in
    syntax to the STORE statement. However, the PLACE statement does
    not actually store a record.

    The PLACE statement can result in significant performance
    improvements in database load procedures that specify the
    PLACEMENT VIA INDEX clause for a hashed index. Use it only with
    records for which a hashed index has been defined.

    The PLACE statement is valid only in RDO and in Callable RDO.
