Hello Hector,

ODBC like native SQL can only work with one record format (as well as
only a single member just in case you wondered [additional trickery
can be used to defeat this sometimes]). There is a way around this
though, create a logical file for each different format and use
select/omit for the logicals so that only the appropriate records are
in it.


I hope that helps
Eric
