I'm thinking there's gotta be an easy way to do this.
     
I have a sequential file, sorted into alphabetical order on a field called 
"LastName".  I want to process it as a subfile by Relative Record Number.
     
But a user needs to be able  set the file at a particular "LastName", 
based on a keyed-in field called "GetName".  
     
Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks.
