I had a thought, which you may or may not be able to use. If you can change
the program that writes the big sequential file out, you might be able to
write just the last record that you want to a separate file, as well as the
large file.

Subject: Re: Accessing a big sequential file
If you have File-AID MVS its as simple as specifying backward processing
within the selection criteria option panel and then asking for as many
records as you need. Whether the file is 100 or 1 million records long.
This can be done on line or batch as well if need be
If you want, feel free in contacting me
Hope this helps
