RE: Secondary Keys

["Brown, Diane R." <DBrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick,

Have you considered using embedded SQL?  You could have a number of SQL
Declare statements in a Select, then based on the user choices, choose the
one that you need.  I use the SQL file as input only, then chain to another
LF (that is over the same PF) for the actual updates.  I have written many
embedded SQL programs if you need examples.

Subject: Secondary Keys



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?
