If you don't need to process the records in keyed order then remove the k for really screaming performance.

"K"? What "K"? I don't got no "K." I don't need no STINKING "K."

Which is to say, it's already using relative record sequential mode; that was one of the things I DIDN'T need help with. ;-)

Although I may need a full procedural file for something else that goes into the target file.

Yes, sometimes progress doesn't seem like progress. I still do my typesetting in good old Xerox Ventura Publisher DOS/GEM 3.0, partly because no WinDoze or Mac program ever released can touch it for features or performance where bread-and-butter typesetting is concerned. Likewise, sometimes "The Cycle" can be so useful, whether controlled by a primary file or (as is the case with most of my Cycle programs) by some other mechanism, and yet the young punks, if they learn RPG at all, are avoiding The Cycle like the plague, and hardly anybody's bothering to teach it.
