Re: Reading records by key using C runtime record i/o functions

[Dennis <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You want _rreadn()

Http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iadthelp/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.iseries.langref.doc/rzan5mst225.html - search for _rreadn.  _rreadk does not honor the current cursor position, although you could kinda-sorta emulate that (assuming there is some uniqueness).
