I'm not certain in assembler, but in COBOL, there is a START statement that will position a file at a given record which has a key that is EQ, GT, GE, or NE to the one you supply. This does not READ the record, but simply sets the pointer. Subsequent READ stamens will proceeded sequentially until you have processed all the related records. You could then issue another START to skip to the next key value you needed.
I would think someone might have an assembler macro to do this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
