Re: Create a *LF over a specific *PF member

["Alan E." <steelville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After a couple of re-compiles of LFs and before I started
using embedded compile logic executed by a pre-compile, I
decided to always try to design files to use a key fields
rather than member names. Members are just too tempting
sometimes, I use them regularly still, especially for
just-in-case daily/weekly/regular downloads of flat files,
but it has made a difference.

| There will come a time when you want to re-create this LF,

quite be the same.

happened, and THEN
