Re: Building a logical file with 1 member over a physical file with many members

["J M Plank" <plank.computer@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's more towards where I am leaning.  Originally I was going to build it
over all members in a CL (using an API or DSPFD to an outfile and receiving
that file), but since I *should* need only 2 members at most, and definitely
only need the members for the selected company, doing this in the RPG
program would make more sense.  I was starting to work on that late this
afternoon, then realized I needed to allow for going back to the initial
selection screen and possible running over a different date range (and
members), so thought I'd better wait until tomorrow when I'm thinking more
clearly.

I'm curious why our vendor designed this file this way, when most other
files are single member.  Oh well, a question for another day.
