The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

<<< The *First member is the first member added to the file, not the first alphabetically >>>
That confirms what I knew to be the case. In the normal course of operations, if the user wanted to rerun a failed application and put the most recent backup in place, they would most likely delete MEMBER and rename MEMBER1 to MEMBER. That very possibility wipes out any hope that I would always get MEMBER when *First was specified.
For the applications which I am writing for the client using their archiving scheme, I will need to place overrides into the CL to insure that I am using the named member of a file and not an earlier-created backup copy.
Again, thanks. I have no one in the office with whom I can discuss these issues. By writing my thoughts, solutions present themselves... with your help.
