Re: Omit/select in a logical file's dds

[boothm@xxxxxxx]

damn. stupid time again.  figured out my problem.  Thanks for the kindness and 
ideas though.  I did learn some stuff I should know.

For those that enjoy the idiocy of others, here's where I went wrong:  
Everything was as I showed. What I'd missed was that towards the end of the 
record was another field with a very similar field name and inconsequntial 
data.  That field for some reason is the key for the logical.  Upon further 
searching, I discovered the file hasn't been used because the file didn't 
behave correctly.  I can only conclude the file's designer made a typo and 
never discovered it.
