RE: a need for speed



Oh wait... (dusting off mental cobwebs)... can you order the records by
area, prefix, suffix and terminal but tell RPG to level break on area,
prefix and terminal??
Yeah, that should work. Assuming that the file is keyed by (or sorted by) Area, Prefix, Suffix and Terminal, you'd have: 

     FINPUT     IP   E           K DISK
     FOUTPUT    O    E           K DISK

     iINPUTREC  NS
     i                                          AREA          L1
     i                                          PREFIX        L1
     i                                          TERMINAL      L2

     c   L2              eval      LowSuffix  = Suffix
     CL2                 eval      HighSuffix = Suffix
     CL2                 write     OUTPUTREC
For someone who works with punch cards day in and day out, this would've probably been an easy problem to solve.
