I'm doing JOINs, one with multiple records. Instead of retrieving the multiple records, I only would like to retrieve the last one. Is there a reserve word to get the last one? There's also a date field one the record. Please advise.

You could add 
BY HIGHEST 1 date-field
and get only the latest row...

Looks like you want to remove duplicates in cross-reference file. For this you can use LST. prefix operator. Here is the sample code. There are multiple entries for COUNTRY and I have taken only the LAST record for each COUNTRY.
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR 
SALES
BY COUNTRY
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CAR 
LST.SALES
BY COUNTRY
END

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ram
