Re: Input Secondary

[Mark Allen <allenmar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Multi-file Processing with No Match Fields  When no match fields are used in 
multi-file processing, records are selected from one file at a time. When the 
records from one file are all processed, the records from the next file are 
selected. The files are selected in this order:       
   Primary file, if specified   
   Secondary files in the order in which they are described on the file 
description specifications.

about 17 years. Can someone who might have used one more recently give me a 
Readers Digest overview of how/why this is used? I coukd look it up of course, 
but if someone knows off the top of their head....


TIA!
