But the key for the chain has to match the file, right? Even if I don't
populate all the key. So if my file has a key of Company (2/0),
Restaurant (15A), my key would have to be:

Key01 Klist
Kfld CO#
Kfld RestNm

Not Just a CHAIN by CO#?

You can chain using CO# only ... just have your keylist only include that field.

As mentioned before, you will get the first record (in full key sequence) that matches the partial key.
