I was having a problem with a file defined by DDL and chaining with
the binary record identity column (created as a DDS logical file)

As I was carefully crafting my question, so as to state the problem
very clearly, I discovered what I was doing wrong.

Talking through an issue with a coworker [or even anyone; they might have no clue what I am talking about] also seemed to work well for me. Yet I tended often to write-out a description of a problem in a message requesting assistance [as an email or to a forum] because I often worked off-hours from others.

As to the specific issue [CHAIN on a B-Binary field defined in a LF over an INTEGER column of SQL TABLE]... is there nothing specific about what was /discovered/ that is worth sharing, as possibly an educational tidbit to prevent someone from experiencing the same difficulty; if not for anyone presently, then for the archives for someone to find later?
