Re: Viewing the contents of a multi format logical

Hi Scott,

One thing that might help is to define a file info data structure. One of
the fields in that data structure is the name of the format just read.
Knowing that will tell you which physical file the record is from. Which you
can look at when debugging.

Also, Carel Teijgeler mentioned using DFU to see what it's doing. That also
applies to DBU, AQUESTVIEW, and WRKDBF.
