[SOLVED] Creating/Using Two Different MFD's on One SAVB File
I am creating a SAVB file that I need to process two different ways in the same procedure (i.e., I need to create "on the fly" and apply two different file descriptions). The first MFD needs to describe the data to take advantage of the OCCURS= and ALIAS=ORDER provisions in WF. Following three TABLE FILEs using this MFD, I need to change the way I'm looking at the data (without the OCCURS=, etc.) and run one more TABLE FILE to complete the requirements for this procedure.
I'm successfully creating the first MFD and am running the three TABLE FILEs; however, I can't seem to get the final TABLE FILE to work using the second MFD.
If someone experienced with this technique could provide some guidance, I'd appreciate it. It's likely that I'm simply not following the right steps.
Thanks!

Never knew you could do something like that (SAVB) outside the "boundary" of a TABLE FILE!
Oh yes. Very useful. And it works with HOLD and SAVE too. These files are generated from the internal matrix.
One thing though: you can only issue these commands after a TABLE but not a TABLEF because TABLEF does not create an internal matrix.
