Re: Field record relation indicators

Well, I don't think it would be straight-forward.  Considering the amount
of work needed versus the amount of benefit, I don't think the function
could compete against other items which would be of more benefit to
most RPG programmers.

If you need some sort of lookahead on sequential reads to an externally
described file, you could probably manage nicely using externally
described data structures and READ into DS.
