You may be able to use OPNQRYF too... to select only the records you want
to process.

James,

Not within RPG.  Vincent's suggestion might work though.  Matching
records won't do it.  It still starts from the first record and reads
sequentially.

As I'm typing I remembered a file type we used in the S/34 and
occasionally on the S/36.  It's a record address type file IIRC.  You
create a record with from and to keys and the program only reads those
records from an associated data file.  I haven't used one in over 10
years and don't remember how to code it but it might be worth a look.
