RE: Normalization was Left AS/400 and Returned

I'd store it by warehouse and date.  Why?  Because a maintenance programmer
can look at the file and have a very good idea how it's used.  Using an
array, the programmer will have to figure out what element of the array
should be used by examining the program code.  Then there's the issue of
having to convert a perfectly good date to a julian representation in order
to extract the correct array element.  

Just my opinion, of course.

Would you store the data one flag per warehouse/date, with the warehouse and
date as the keys to the file, or would you store the information in
an array, perhaps by year or by some other arbitrary unit of time?
