I doubt that it can be done today using just COBOL; I use Pascal for my mapped
file applications.  Why do you need to access the data mapped?

OTOH, at the IPROF98 SIGCOBOL meeting it was mentioned that the coming
COBOL standard includes pointers, so maybe you would be able to do this
sometime next millenium, if those new COBOL features ever make it into MPE...
