Subject: Internally defined by key value?


I have a duel format physical file I need to open, and so am opening
it as UP    F  (Update Primare, File Described).  In the I specs I am
declaring one variable for the buffer.  In the D specs I am using ExtName
for my file layouts, and basing that on my file.  All is fine and dandy.

But... when I normally open files I also specify they be opened by Key,
by specifiing the K.  I know that if I don't specify the K then the records
will come in arrival sequence.  RPG won't let me specify K in a File
described file.

So, what do I do?  How do I get key sequence by a file described file?

Regards,

Jim Langston
