After a couple of re-compiles of LFs and before I started
using embedded compile logic executed by a pre-compile, I
decided to always try to design files to use a key fields
rather than member names. Members are just too tempting
sometimes, I use them regularly still, especially for
just-in-case daily/weekly/regular downloads of flat files,
but it has made a difference.

| There will come a time when you want to re-create this LF,
and someone WILL
| simply take PDM option 14 and then your application won't
quite be the same.
| You'll spend a good long time trying to figure out what
happened, and THEN
| remember the funky LF.  Not what I'd call a Good Day.
