Re: Creating Logicals before or after populating a file ?

Larry:

Ok then, I'm asking about why ! I realize that there is more control over
the process by creating the logicals separately and that they can be
created in tandem etc, it would certainly help if I am able to provide the
other people involved in this exercise with some reasons.. plus I'm kind of
interested

Thanks for your reply so far anyway !
