Re: Input Secondary

Thank you, everyone!  I've learned more about input secondary files now than I 
ever wanted to know!  And I got down on my knees and thanked God that I don't 
ever have to program in RPG II anymore!

      Multi-file Processing with No Match Fields  When no match fields are used 
in multi-file processing, records are selected from one file at a time. When 
the records from one file are all processed, the records from the next file are 
selected. The files are selected in this order:       
       Primary file, if specified   
       Secondary files in the order in which they are described on the file 
description specifications.

an old clunker that uses an Inpit Secondary file. I have not seen one of these

Readers Digest overview of how/why this is used? I coukd look it up of course, 
but if someone knows off the top of their head....
    
    
    TIA!
