Re: DDS LF select/omit problem

James,

Once you go "off format" by doing a SST or CONCAT, you must specify the
fields individually. It's an old nuisance.

-mark

I need to set up a logical file that is uniquely keyed on one of the PF
fields, but which omits all records in which that field is either blank,
or starts with an asterisk.

But I find that if I explicitly define a field substringing that field
(to check for the asterisk), I lose all the PF fields.

If there's a way to do this without explicitly including all of the PF
fields, I don't remember what it is.

Help?
