access a remote file by record number

The user is sitting in one file and wants to access a specific record number 
of another file. I would like to have the user limited to only accessing the 
file by record number only.

Instead of placing the user in IUA ("Choose Record Operation") and pressing 
<1> for record number selection I want to place them in the record selection 
field immediately.

I would like to use this type of approach:

system "/appl/fp/rclerk msx -s9 -xij"

The line above places the user into selection index <J>.

Is there some way I can use this approach to place the user directly in the 
record selection field of the remote file?

Thanks for your consideration.
