Here's what I would do...  Either use the API that the other person
suggested (I'll have to keep that in mind the next time, that one is new to
me), or the CL command that I suggested.

If you use the CL command, first execute the CL command to build the file
in QTEMP...

Then in the RPG program do...

FDSPFD     IF   E           K DISK    ExtFile(QTEMP/DSPFD)
 * I'm doing this from memory, so I don't know if you can
 * reference a field from DSPFD file. You may need to Change
FMYFILE    IF   E           K DISK    ExtMbr(MBNAME) UsrOpn

 /Free

   Read DSPFD;
   DoW not %EoF(DSPFD);

       // Close MyFile In Case It's Open
       If %Open(MyFile);
          Close MyFile;
       EndIf;

       // Open MyFile To The Member
       // Specified In field MBNAME
       Open MyFile;

       Read MyFile;
       DoW not %EoF(MyFile);

           // Do MyFile Processing... Writing To Workfile
           Read MyFile;
       EndDo;

       Read DSPFD;
   EndDo;

   // Close MyFile In Case It's Open
   If %Open(MyFile);
      Close MyFile;
   EndIf;

   *InLr = *On;
   Return;

 /End-Free

I think what I can do is to read the entire file, and make a work file out
of it.
I only need to be concerned w/ the past 2 years.

Is the approach the same in this scenario, of reading the file, all of the
members? U would have to make it a called program w/ the ovrdbf?
