There's always SQL and/or OPNQRYF. The logical may help performance. You can weigh that off with keeping a permanent logical file. Me, I prefer SQL. Not only is it a lot easier to maintain than OPNQRYF, the newbies on staff picked it up really quick, and you don't need to create dummy files to get the compiler to work.

The file that has the data I need is keyed as follows: K CO K ITEM K CENT K YEAR The monthly summaries of items shipped is in this file in an array form. The program to be modified is printing summaries by month/year on the carton level. In order to get total # of items shipped, I feel that I need a logical that will key CO & Year, because of the existing key structure I cannot do a SETLL on CO & Item, bec. I don't have the item in the existing program. I would then create the total items needed based on the dates entered by the user. Is there another way of doing this, or is creating the logical the really best way?
