Record name the same as the file name

Yes it can.  The following works just fine - BUT the entire record is
presented since the INDEX has the same record format as the TABLE.

  // 1). CREATE TABLE MYLIB/MYTABLE (DEPTCODE CHAR (2 ) NOT NULL WITH
  //       DEFAULT, DEPTNAME CHAR (15 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)
  // 2). CREATE INDEX MYLIB/MYINDEX ON MYTABLE (DEPTNAME ASC)
  // 3). Populate with a few records

FMyIndex   IF   E           K Disk
D KeyArg          S                   Like(DeptName)
 /Free
   KeyArg = 'PERSONNEL';
   SetLL KeyArg MyIndex;
   Read MyIndex;
   Dsply DeptCode '*REQUESTER';
   *InLR = *On;
 /End-Free
