Re: reads and updates on the same file

You could use READE(N) while loading the subfile instead of READE.

The (N) tells the program not to lock the record.

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