Data Selection Process for Dclerk

[Rodgers Hemer]

SCO 6.0/ filePro 5.0.14

I am trying to create a process that can run from a user menu to  
permit selection of a group of records for view and access within  
dclerk.  What I want, and cannot find, is a way of requesting records  
similar to that using sort/selection processing under dreport.  I do  
not want to use scan table processing which I believe is not suitable  
for new and untrained clerical personnel and certainly cannot be  
consider user friendly.

The selection consists of a single client ID and a range of dates  
(earliest to latest).  The problem with using an automatic index is  
that it requires a specific date that is in the data base, and it does  
not stop after the last item for that client ID.  It is possible that  
creating a demand index would work but I do not see an obvious way to  
create it using a question and answer technique as can be used in  
output sort/selection processing.

Does any one have a suggestion of how to provide a user friendly  
solution to this question.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
