RE: Quick question for the RPG Cycle experts (if there are any left)

Record address file that's an oldie ...

You have to specify an "L" for limits processing in the primary file and
then code a record address file spec also.

The record address file contains a record with the low and high key values
you want to process.  Each record (if multiples are needed) contains
a single limit range.

The low keys starts in position 1 and the high key follows immediately
after the ending position of the low key.  No intervening blanks.

It is documented in the RPG Programmer's Guide.

James,

Not within RPG.  Vincent's suggestion might work though.  Matching
records won't do it.  It still starts from the first record and reads
sequentially.

As I'm typing I remembered a file type we used in the S/34 and
occasionally on the S/36.  It's a record address type file IIRC.  You
create a record with from and to keys and the program only reads those
records from an associated data file.  I haven't used one in over 10
years and don't remember how to code it but it might be worth a look.

Rick

Is there a way to tell The Cycle to start its ride through
the primary file someplace other than the beginning?
