RE: RE: join logical keys by secondary file, any free way around this

["Joe Giusto \(E-mail\)" <juicenetdps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Other funky dilemma (the order file has the item number as 6/0 the itemmast
is keyed as 7/0, here is an example of what the item# looks like 123456
equals the itemmast key of 1234560 (they dropped the last digit in some
files, real bright design here...)...."

if the last digit is always zero, can you substring the itemmast item number
and join on the new field?  Or do the joined fields have to actually be in
the physical file?  Can 2 logical files be joined?
