01 WS-EMPLOYEE-NAME. 05 FIRST-INITIAL PIC X. 05 FILLER PIC X(29). ...... * WS-INITIAL-LETTER could be defined separately and set to 'J' MOVE LOW-VALUES TO WS-EMPLOYEE-NAME. MOVE WS-INITIAL-LETTER TO FIRST-INITIAL. MOVE WS-EMPLOYEE-NAME TO EMPLOYEE-NAME. * This is randomly accessing EMPLOYEE-NAME based on a partial key / string indexed * search using a 'secondary' index which is system owned. IX-EMPLOYEE-NAME is the * system owned index in this example. OBTAIN EMPLOYEE-REC WITHIN IX-EMPLOYEE-NAME USING EMPLOYEE-NAME. ........ OBTAIN NEXT EMPLOYEE-REC WITHIN IX-EMPLOYEE-NAME. *** The program must check for first letter in every record occurrence which it walks through that name still starts with 'J' and should exit loop / stop walking the set when when employee name does not start any longer with 'J'.
