All
I need some help with DECBasic. All the examples in the BASIC USER
GUIDE use a simple key.

This is how I open the file:

OPEN sFILENAME  AS FILE #1  &
,access         modify      &
,allow          modify      &
,map            REC_MAP		&
,organization   indexed     &
,primary        (PAN, DOB)  ! <======= NOTE &
,alternate      LAST  duplicates changes &
,alternate      FIRST duplicates changes

FIND #1, KEY #0 EQ "sMyPAN,sDOB", REGARDLESS
GET #1
The above Get command gives me a "RECORD NOT FOUND" error.

Did I get the syntax correctly?

Thanks!
