<snip>
I have always been chaining a file name (habit since long) but today I
found that when I chained using the file name the record was not found &

when used the same key & chained using the record name the record was
found. Why is this so ?? Which is correct ??

Unless this is a multiple format logical (reech!), it should make
absolutely no difference. If it is, then I would say you have a bug. If
it is a multiple format logical and you use the file name, it depends on
the keys you are using.
