RE: CHAIN to a DS

 >> What I want to do is this:
 >> When you CHAIN to a file, the found record is placed, field by field, in
the input buffer (the fields contained in the record format).

This will work fine Tony and should be very efficient as long as you:

a) Are on V5R2+ if the file has a single record format or be on V5R3 if it
does not.

b) Specify the DS by using the EXTNAME or LIKEREC keywords.
