Hard-coding File names in calcs reduces flexibility.
So later if I want to change Logical LF1 to LF101 with different
selection later, I do not have to change the calcs too.

That being the case, why are you bothering with <F>ile specifications?
Wouldn't you be (much) better off with SQL, and have then only one place to
change (or none, if you let the system be smart about index selection)?
