That sounds good, Marc.  Question though.

FMyFile    UF             K DISK

...

C     MyFileKey     Chain    FileFormat            99


In this case it is not obvious that FileFormat comes from the file
MyFile.  Unless you also use a naming standard for field formats and
stick to it (we pretty much do here, MyFile01 would be the file format
for MyFile, if it had 2 it would be MyFile02, etc..).

Something like this could be designed with your specific shop standards,
but it would not be easy for others to use this same program, or at a 
different shop, or for different applications on the same system.

I'm sure JD Edwards uses different standards than other applications (and
if I could think of another application I would mention it <g>).

Would this project be worth the effort, however?  For the time involved in
designing and testing it (and you would definately want to test the 
bejeevies out of this thing!) it could only be used for one application.

Unless you spend a lot more time in the design phase making it very 
customizable.

Then again, it would be something I would also be interested in, but the system
I inherited does not use standards for variable names.
