RE: Accessing files In QTEMP

["Richard Jackson" <richardjackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is: I have to recompile the applications and I have to change
the way that the applications work.  That is important in a big migration
project.  That is the greatest sin you can do in a big migration project -
never change anything you don't absolutely have to.  Once it works, you can
go back and redesign - but make it work first.  That is my only objection to
adding DB fields.
