Stupid question about Primary and Secondary

[fernando.olmos at hpa.com.au]

I thought that the following code would make the ORDER_MASTER table
*not* optional! 

> screen ert 
> file customers in isdb 
> file order_master in isdb secondary 
> build list detail 

> PROCEDURE PATH 
>   BEGIN 
>     LET PATH = 1 
>     END 
> PROCEDURE FIND 
>   BEGIN 
>     GET CUSTOMERS SEQUENTIAL 
>     GET ORDER_MASTER OPTIONAL 
>     END 

Yet it does. Why? 

How can I declare the FILE statement to not place an OPTIONAL on GET
ORDER_MASTER? 

Thanks 

Kind regards,
