adding unique key to all the tables is for java and .net people only. we
RPG people does not really like that.... ooouuu, am I in trouble or what...
Just kidding, I don't understand the need.

I second the others questions about the reluctance to use CHAIN...

If as suggested it's becuase you don't have a unique key...then I
strongly suggest adding one. :)

If nothing else, couldn't you use CHAIN with the RRN of the current record?

Is there a way to re-READ the current record (without using CHAIN) that the
RPG program has just READ?

For example:

reade(n) (mykey1) MYFILE; //read it with no lock
if not %eof() and needUpdated();
==> Need to re-read with locked how???
endif;
