All,

We have a situation where we need to set a file to a specific pointer
location and reads according a key list from that point on.  I have reviewed
the archives and found multiple questions about this same situation, but
there were no real resolutions to those questions.  Lets see if anyone has
any other ideas.  Here is the situation:

I have a logical file that is not uniquely keyed.  We are not able to change
to a uniquely keyed file.
We read the file and stop on a specific record.  The RRN is returned to the
calling program.
At another time, the program is called with the keys and the RRN again.
We need to start at the record where we stopped before and continue reading.

Does anyone have a recommendation on an efficient method to accomplish this
task?

Thanks

Mike
