You name the member on the DTAMBRS() parameter of the CRTLF command, the same parameter that names the PF itself. — Tom
The ‘Answer’ is incorrect in most respects. It is not necessary to use ADDLFM. The command may be used if the LF should have additional members, but oterwise it’s not required. And it is not required to add a key if you don’t want additional members. — Tom
