Re: Logical File with Field being substringed as a Key

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, it's possible. The only tricks are that

1) you can't use the physical file's format - you'll have to specify all the
fields you want from the physical under a new format name.

2) the substringed field must be specified as input-only.

See the manual for more information and examples:
