If you don't need to process the records in keyed order then remove the k for really screaming performance.
"K"? What "K"? I don't got no "K." I don't need no 
STINKING "K."
Which is to say, it's already using relative record 
sequential mode; that was one of the things I DIDN'T need 
help with. ;-)
Although I may need a full procedural file for something 
else that goes into the target file.
Yes, sometimes progress doesn't seem like progress. I 
still do my typesetting in good old Xerox Ventura 
Publisher DOS/GEM 3.0, partly because no WinDoze or Mac 
program ever released can touch it for features or 
performance where bread-and-butter typesetting is 
concerned. Likewise, sometimes "The Cycle" can be so 
useful, whether controlled by a primary file or (as is the 
case with most of my Cycle programs) by some other 
mechanism, and yet the young punks, if they learn RPG at 
all, are avoiding The Cycle like the plague, and hardly 
anybody's bothering to teach it.
