Chuck, I think the difficulty will be in determining which row is "that row". RPG36 doesn't support INFDS for DISK files, so I don't think you'll have any way of knowing the RRN of the new row.

You didn't say why you wanted the output to be done by System-36 RPG ...
I assume you have some reason for that, but just in case, I feel I should tell you that even if you have some reason for running your program in the System-36 environment, the program doesn't have to be written in a System-36 language. You can LOAD+RUN a program written in any language.
