I've switched from using a file and a logical to using just one file and

Thanks for your reply Bob
In my mainframe COBOL days, I used this trick ALL the time, It was a god
send
It just meant that you could get 2 different records using the same
access
key from what looked like 2 different files (internally within the
program
one or both "files" was/were qualified) , but externally, it was the
same
file
It looks like I will have to create a new logical
