RE: READE question

But the key for the chain has to match the file, right? Even if I don't
populate all the key. So if my file has a key of Company (2/0),
Restaurant (15A), my key would have to be:

Key01 Klist
Kfld CO#
Kfld RestNm

Not Just a CHAIN by CO#?

You do not need to chain with a full key...

If you have a key on the file of Company, Restaurant

You can chain just by company but you are going to get the lowest
Restaurant number (or highest if in descending sort).

The same is not true on a CHAIN, correct?

yes...it's called a partial key...you *never* have to specify the

entire

key for a file (unless you want/need to 8^) )

Thanks,

READE question



HI I have a Logical file that has several fields as the key. Can I do

a

SETLL/READ if I have only the first field of this key? Instead of

having

to create another logical.
