Re: RE: RE: join logical keys by secondary file, any free way around this

Hi Mark,

Glad it helped. It's actually been a while since I've used data queues,
but as I recall they allow something like a READE option. So if your
program knows who the user is (or the session id, or something), then you
could use that as part of your key and each user would see only his/her
own records.

Just a thought. . . .

Good luck!
