This program displays a subfile of all records in the file and laterupdates individual records.To avoid record locks, I created a new logical file with the same key as theoriginals.

Is there a more elegant solution, which avoids creating a second logical?
This is my first posting, so I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks, Ken
