No, Pat. That was just needed for the logical that I was using. Just illustrating that the key can be a partial field. I thought that was part of what you wanted, but I may have misinterpreted.

Anyway, the key fields can be "normal" fields or partial fields; anything that is in the list of fields. There, just to confuse the issue some more, fields in the physical (PRCOVR) that are not included in the logical.

You mean like this:

R PRCOVRR PFILE(QS36F/PRCOVR)

STATE I SST(PRTXCD 1 2)
TXCODE I SST(PRTXCD 3 3)
PRTXCD
PRPRIC
PRPITM
K STATE
K PRPITM
S TXCODE COMP(EQ '01R')

In this example PRTXCD is the tax code. For New Mexico the full code might be NM01R, NMU1R, etc.
