Yes, what I call a field select logical. You just specify a different record
name and specify the fields that you want to include.

I used to do it give me database independence but was a pain and SQL is so
much better.

I'm still researching this. My distant memory says (could be very wrong)
that a
LF can be designed to only include the specific fields from the PF. But, I
can't remember if this is true, or how to do it. I have a PF with 400+
fields.
I only need maybe 5 of those fields.

Is is possible to create a LF that has two key fields and three other
fields
from the PF?
