Link 2 subfiles in QTP?

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

You can link 2 direct files (e.g. non-indexed subfiles) by record number as
in:
> access *a link to record(xxx) of *b
but you need to know the value of xxx or have it in subfile a.

Probably what you want to do your example is end up with a subfile such as:
  order number
  product
  vendor name
You can easily do this by writing out the first subfile with a blank vendor
name and then appending the second subfile to the first with a blank product
code. Then sort the resulting file on order number and write a new subfile
at order number. Use the maximum function to get both product and vendor
name in the final subfile.
