As a simple replacement for READ and then Record ID. Just the format
name. Seems it would be tough to test a field in the record w/o
knowing what format was found.


Not really. Back in the day (before record format names and
externally-defined files) they would use I-specs to test a fixed position
in the record for a value and that would set the indicator to identify the
record found. So, I just didn't know how old your program (or your file)
was.
