Re: Re(2): Re(2): File in CL Program

Hi Mike,

While I don't know of anyway to do the equivalent of a CHAIN in CL either,
you can use the OVRDBF command with the POSITION parameter prior to the
initial RCVF to effectively do a SETLL. It works best with character key
fields -- anything else can get tricky.
