RE: compare using qry or logical

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may be worth a shot:

Try creating a logical with ARBGRP as the primary KEY (no select/omit),
continue using the OPNQRYF but be sure to specify OPTALLAP(*YES).  If my
recollection is not faulty, OPNQRYF should use the logical to do the
selection by key lookup.

Maybe others can confirm.
