RE: Join Files

In the same vein as Peter's reply,

Ensure the appropriate index exists for each file.  
Then, using embedded SQL, create a select using a left outer join.

Subject: Join Files

Hi All:   I have set up a join file on 2 physical files and am
successfully getting the information I need with the following
exception.



            When I have a record in the primary file that does not

have

a record in the secondary, I still want to retrieve the primary

record.

Is this possible using a Join Logical and if so how and if not is

there

a better way to accomplish this?



            I have tried searching the archives but the only thing I
found was discussions on using keys from primary and secondary and not
anything about the problem I am having?

            Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
