Thanks, all of you, for the clear explanation and alternatives. I
understand the issue now.
That information is very timely: the index I was considering adding
-could- have changed on the secondary file. I would have been chasing
that ghost for days :)

Satya,
Roughly speaking, and I-Desc is a way to manipulate the data so that you can
select or display data in other ways. You can get data from another file,
perform some math on multiple fields, concatenate data, call a basic
subroutine, or any combination of these. You can have multiple com
I'll add a tidbit that some of the similar (not identical) names are:
virtual field
derived data
calculated field
computed column

Hi Satya:
An I-descriptor is the same as an I-type (or a V-type).
It's like a little program in the DICT (dictionary) of a file. It can

but those simple things can be quite helpful. Here is an example-
