Re: Update primary filre

Just a small comment: This is already a bad enough program, right? The less you add to it, the better. Would you consider just adding a work file and input the data into it, and then after this monster runs, runs another single-purpose program to update the fields based on the data captured by the monster?

Probably the infDS, in lieu of look-ahead, might work

program logic.
We're probably going to have to leave our primary file as input,
and then add another file spec for update, either updating a new logical file
or using OVRDBF to point to the same file. Any reason that won't work?
Thanks.
