Re: Secondary Keys

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It's been awhile, but I do not believe you can define a key field from a
secondary file in a join logical.  My workaround for that has been to use
OPNQRYF to do that, but that may not be practical for an interactive app.

Another possibility for you is to load your data destined for your subfile
into a user index and load the sorted data from there into the subfile.

I have a maintenance program that can be displayed with multiple sorts. It
is set up to read different a logical based on what the user keys as a sort
code. However, some information in the subfile is from secondary files and
they want the subfile sorted on those fields. I looked at doing a join
logical, but I can't tell where I'm allowed to use the fields from the
secondary file as key fields. Anyone have any suggestions?
