READE on a file selected by user

Hi,

I'm sure someone must have already run into this problem :

User types in search criteria.

Program performs
SETLL searchFile
DOU %eof (searchFile)
READE(searchFile)

etc etc and loads a subfile with the results.


A new search field is added and a different searchFile must be used, depending upon the search criteria used by the user.

So I could do

if searchType1
SETLL searchFile1
else
SETLL searchFile2

etc,

Very messy modified code!

I could copy and paste the original code and execute one or the other ( lots of duplicate code)
I could use an SQL cursor. In this case I would have a lot more modifications to make.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
