The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Well for one thing I hate using From/To notation - too error prone.
Second - why would I want to go to the trouble of specifying all the
field names by hand if I don't have to?
Third, while I do use the technique of listing field names that you
describe, I tend to use it when the fields in question are not
contiguous and/or I do not need to use all the fields in the file.
There is also the issue that when using Read with a result field I am
guaranteed that all fields are populated whereas using the technique
you describe the fields will not be populated if not referenced
elsewhere in the code.

I suppose it doesn't matter... just not sure why you would want to
reference the external name CustData twice, once in the FSPECS, and
once in the DSPECS except to save on the amount of lines in your
source.
