Re: Processing Question if to create a logical or else?

There's always SQL and/or OPNQRYF.  The logical may help performance.  You 
can weigh that off with keeping a permanent logical file.  Me, I prefer 
SQL.  Not only is it a lot easier to maintain than OPNQRYF, the newbies on 
staff picked it up really quick, and you don't need to create dummy files 
to get the compiler to work.

Processing Question if to create a logical or else?






The file that has the data I need is keyed as follows:
  K CO 
  K ITEM 
  K CENT 
  K YEAR
The monthly summaries of items shipped is in this file in an array form. 

The program to be modified is printing summaries by month/year on the 
carton level. In order to get total # of items shipped, I feel that I need 
a logical that will key CO & Year, because of the existing key structure I 
cannot do a SETLL on CO & Item, bec. I don't have the item in the existing 
program. I would then create the total items needed based on the dates 
entered by the user.

Is there another way of doing this, or is creating the logical the really 
best way?

Thanks,
Rob
