Important Observations

- Srvroutines have XXXX_MAP statements defining data to exchange as a field, a working lists or a Group_By.
- The SELECT command retrieves a group of records based on all keys or a number of keys, optionally using generic logic, and can also read the table using a start key or backward.
- The Tab Folder is a good way to present a lot of information on one web page.
- The Server Module generates Find routines for the physical and all logical files.
