Hi John

My understanding of the documentation is that I pass the API a list of
Relative Record Numbers that I want to retrieve from the physical file.
What it doesn't tell me is where the retrieved records are put, other than
"main storage".  If they came back into a user space, I could work with
that.  If the API returned an address pointer I could work with that too.  I
don't have a problem with parsing the data, I can do that, but first I have
to "find" the data.

All the best

The Relative record number array that you pass to this API is the reference
to the records. This API no longer works with LF's or DDMF's, so it's a
pure reference to the relative record number. It would be up to you to
parse the data and perform any update/delete by relative record number.
