Re: Logical file COMP designation

["Carel Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx>]

As others have pointed out use RANGE(start end).

I only wonder what you will do with this LF after 01/31/2006: change it and 
recompile?   

You can make field IHDINVDATE (and the other restrictions) part of a key, then 
SETLL and READE (or CHAIN) in the programme; it is more flexible in the near 
future. Other options are embedded SQL (dynamin) or OPNQRYF with an OVRDBF.

in short: hard coding ranges should be treated with care.

Just my two Eurocents.

Carel Teijgeler.
