One way would be to add the key fields again, at the end of the record, in the order you want for a key. Another way would be to leave the file unindexed, and use FMTSRc to sort it after it is built, then process it sequentially. Also there used to be a word something like "EXTK" that went in the key location area of the F spec for non-contiguos keys?
