RE: How to read index file from CL program

If you are trying to randomly read many records from the file you will want
to use another language such as RPG.  If you are trying to retrieve a single
record or start reading records from a specific point you can use the
POSITION parameter on the OVRDBF command.

    DCLF       FILE(FILENAME)                             
    OVRDBF     FILE(FILENAME) POSITION(*KEYAE 1 *N 'key + 
                 value string')                           
    RCVF                                                  

Regards,
Stan
