The FASTREAD option specifies whether or not the File Handler performs extra checking to ensure data integrity when reading an indexed
                  file.
            
            
               Syntax:

Comments:
To increase the efficiency of reads on fixed length, non-compressed indexed files, set FASTREAD to ON.
