RE: Logical file question

Hi April,

I assume there are records in both physical files that meet the conditions,
right?

How is the program reading the file?  Is it using READ opcodes, or is it a
primary file?  If it's using the READ opcode, is it reading the filename or
the format name?  If it's a primary file, does it use input specs to
differentiate the record formats?
