secondary file items

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

Qdesign will generate item statements for all items in SECFILE which have
the same names as items in PRIMFILE of the format
>item field1 of secfile initial field1 of primfile fixed
Note the "fixed" at the end of that statement. Now if field1 of PRIMFILE is
zero then field1 of SECFILE will get set to zero by the put verb's
evaluation of the item statements. If this is incorrect then you can include
your own item statements for like-named items in SECFILE or you can put
noitems on the file statement for SECFILE to prevent the automatic
generation of item statements.

Hope this helps,
