If this is a data file, I doubt you want to do anything $CRMPSC could do
for you.  You probably want to do a convert/fdl or some such thing on the
file and specify that you want global RMS buffers.  This actually makes
a system section you can see with list/global from install whenever the
file is opened, but it allows you to access the file from RMS with normal
file/record locking like you are used to instead of giving you the whole
file uninterpreted in system memory in one whack.
