Rclerk to a specific record

[Walter Vaughan]

My first thought is  that you might want to rethink it.

Opening up a new clerk session while standing in another file is sort of
asking for a lot of program overhead and problems.
You will be locking the record the operator is standing in as well as the
record you have open if you get into update mode there.

This is sort of what browse windows and popups are for.

Any reason you can't use popups?

Subject: Rclerk to a specific record

Good Afternoon Fileproians,

I would like to setup a key for my users that rclerks them to a specific
record in a different file.

I was looking in the manual and didnt see an argument for rclerk that would
allow that.

I did see that you could pass stuff in into "System Maintained" variables
like @PM. I was thinking I could maybe do my lookup stuff to get the RN I
wanted and then shove that inside one of these system maintained variables
and then write something in @once or @menu in the destination file
processing table and then in my rclerk command, bypass inquire update and
add and go directly to processing.

But I thought I better ask for the "right way" to do it before I
accidentally leveled Moscow. :)
