RE: Creating a physical AND Logical file

I'd have the report CLs do an OVRDBF & OPNQRYF to retrieve the data
dynamically. No work files necessary.

The physical file is already keyed. The logical is a different key.
These files already exist, and are being used to supply monthly totals.
However the user wants to be able to create the same reports but
specifying
from and thru dates of their own (which may be from the middle of one
month
to the middle of this month etc etc)
So to keep things on an even keel, I am creating these files (on the
fly)
in QTEMP, but the PRODUCTION files exist in the PRODUCTION library.
Therefore - I CANNOT change the DDS.
Hence my question
