Sorry to keep asking so many questions today.

The subject line kind of says it all: is there a way, from SQL, to access records by RRN? As in the same RRN used from native I/O, the one that doesn't change unless the file is reorganized?

I've been looking around, but all I see are ways to FIND OUT the RRN of a record, not to retrieve it BY RRN.
