RE: Tables and PFs

Dennis

Seems to me that if there IS a difference in some behavior, that it is
not true that it "...makes no difference to ... the system ..." as you
said below. An example IS when data is validated - and IBM do make some
noise about how important this is - especially as it prevents the input
of things like decimal-data errors into the files/tables/mesas. Things
like multiple-member capability vs. only-one-member can be significant
in usage.

My whole point was around what to call this thing, not in the technical
differences. That is how I perceived the original question. It's a table.
It's also a file. In that light, I stand by what I said.
