Re: DoU...

Thanks, 

With everyone's tips I was able to reduce it to this.  Incidentally, the
first code snippet I sent didn't work and I had to debug it, but the 
logic flow was right.  This, on the other hand, is a bit more cleaner.

Being able to specify just a few parts of the key for my key field is a
new one on me, and very beneficial.  I had a heck of a time getting my
original code to work as I was setting the date field to *LoVal and after
a bit of debugging did I discover that the date was sorted in *Descending
order.  Not having to specify the date in my key means I don't have to
worry about what order it's sorted in now.

RPG is becoming a lot more cleaner.  Good work Hans and Barbara 8-)
