It works very nicely, John, so thanks again. One further question: if I know a record’s record number, how do I use ORDA to create an entity containing that record (more or less the equivalent of GOTO RECORD)?
I’m finding ORDA quite exciting, but it’s tricky (for me, anyway) to do some things which have become second-nature under the “old” approach.
