Re: Are level checks still useful?

The key length is specified in the F-spec = I believe it has to start in position 1 of the record, but I can't say that for sure.

The data structure merely overlays wherever that key area would be.

Old school stuff here!! RPG II techniques, probably.

Does this work on a file which has a multi-field key?
I haven't tested it, but I suspect it would work since the key is defined as a data structure, which obviously can have multiple sub-fields. Somebody should try that.

How about if those fields aren't contiguous in the record format?
Use a LF in the "f" spec? Again, somebody should try that.
