I need to create a logical file and substring one of the fields and use the
substringed portion as a key.  Possible?  If so, any examples?

Thanking you in advance!


yes it is possible

here is a code snippit of how, the witem field is really a 7 digit field


 A            ITEM6          6A  I      SST(WITEM 1 6)  
 A          K WCUST#                                    
 A          K ITEM6
