RE: using _Rreadk with a partial key - any examples?

Adam,

The most obvious would be the following:

pFeedback = _Rreadk(pFile, pRecBuffer ,nRecLength, __KEY_EQ, pKey->Seq, 4);

Which is exactly the same, as what you did - in this particular case.

Not absolutely sure, what would happen with your program in case seq in the 
your PF is not decimal(7,0) but rather decimal(9,0). 
Because decimal(7,0) occupies 4 bytes. And probably this will be the size of 
your structure SXKey. 
But what will be the size of structure, keeping decimal of size 5 bytes?
Anyway, manual states, that key type is void. For me that means, that is 
treated as void. So I see no reason to send structure to it. As far as my 
experience says, PF do not keep any padding spaces, so probably structures must 
be unaligned (packed).
