Jerry,
I have over 20 years experience working with that application. You
can have any of the software
I have developed that will help you. Please contact me off line to
discuss how I converted to DDS/DDL.

subject: Logicals Over Group Files

I have an old S/36 application here that I am slowly trying to convert.
I.e., the files are not externally described, except for the few I have
converted so far. All of the files (physical and logical) are contained

the same library (QS36F).

The application uses the old S/36 group file designation to differentiate
between companies, such as A.IVMAST and D.IVMAST. I replace the BLDFILE
commands with a CRTwhatever command to build the physical, and the group
file is not an issue at that time.

However, when I replace the BLDINDEX command with an equivalent CRTsomelf
command, the group file is a problem because the DDS for the LF wants to
know the name of the parent, such as:

R IVMASTR PFILE(A.IVMAST)
