Re: substringed key field?

[Scott.Lindstrom@xxxxxxxxxx]

Here is an example of a LF (actually a join) in which we created a new
field that is a substring of another field, than made that new field a key
field:

R JOINREC                    JFILE(F0101 F4205)
J                            JOIN(F0101 F4205)
                             JFLD(ABAN8 BIAN8)
  ABAN8
  BIAN8
  ABPA8
  ABADDZ                    SST(ABAN8 1 5)
  ABAC01
  ABAC02

The file has the G/L # (a 7 digit numeric field) as a sub-key.  I'd like
to order the file by position 7 and 8 of that General/Ledger #.  Is there
a way to build a logical file that way?
