RE: dspf & prtf querys

[Colin Williams <colin.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would say yes if your dspf or prtf file fields are populated directly
from the database fields, so that the dspf and prtf can be updated just
by compiling if the related database fields change. 

I see no advantage to REF'ing fields that are not populated directly
from the database fields
