Hi all,

We are starting to talk about modernization. We have older logical files that have new record names, specify the fields in addition to a key for sorting.

We were experimenting with generating an SQL script. We did not find the logical with indexes - we found it with the views. I'm curious. Why does the system recognize it as a view? And how do the key fields get handled since they can't be included in the view?

Bonus question for anyone further down the modernization road. How are you handling goodies like this?
