Given the following situation:

A "Machine" file and a "Package" file, with a one-to-many relationship. Each "Package" record is tied to a "Machine" record; a "Machine" record can have zero or more "package" records.

I've got a traditional (i.e., non-SQL) join-logical on the two files, with a JDFTVAL keyword, so that if a machine has no "package" defined on it, it still appears, with blank "package" fields, in the join.

i.e., if we have "machine" records
M1
M2
M3

and package records
M1PA
M1PB
M2PX

then the join shows
M1 M1PA
M1 M1PB
M2 M2PX
M3

Is there a way to set this up so that even if the "machine" has one or more "packages," the join logical will also show a "no package" record? i.e., from the same PFs, the join would show
M1
M1 M1PA
M1 M1PB
M2
M2 M2PX
M3
