John,
at the time I write this letter you already got some answers and I see
you prefer the Query.
The question is if you need to use the new file (single record for pn
but multiple locations)
regularly but your app. updates the old file.
If this is the situation, I think the best is to create a Join logical
file based on your original file
with selects, e.g. if you have n locations, use the same file (the
original one) n times with selects
of records, for each join select on a diferent location.
In this way, you create once the file needed but you continue to update
the original file as before.
If you use query or even a program, you have to recreate or update the
new file each time you need to use it.
