Thanks Terry!
After looking at your example, the fog started lifting .... I'm pretty
certain that this is exactly what I was looking for.

You need to check the I-O feedback area after each
START/READ statement. Here's a copybook that I
created a long time ago:

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Getting Relative Record Number After READ
I have a file that I am reading dynamically either
forward, backwards or
by first setting the START command. The file is indexed,
but has the
capability of containing duplicate keys. After each read,
I would like to
get at the exact relative record number of the record just
read. I seem
to recall doing this some years ago, but the gray matter
has lost it
altogether. I've been searching the IBM COBOL manuals to
no avail. I
need to know the exact record as I am calling another
program that then
needs to retrieve that exact same record, so passing just
the record key
will not work.
All suggestions appreciated.
