RE: substringed key field?

Yes, KeyFld = %SST(G/L# field,7,2) and any other fields you want in the
logical file.  Then key by KeyFld after all of the defined fields.

Subject: substringed key field?


The file has the G/L # (a 7 digit numeric field) as a sub-key.  I'd like 
to order the file by position 7 and 8 of that General/Ledger #.  Is there 
a way to build a logical file that way?
