Re: reads and updates on the same file

When you do the read to fill the subfile, use the

   c          read(n)   File
(n) extender. That should leave the records unlocked until you update the individual records.

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
