Without changing the index, and without using SELECT - SQL, you can use LOCATE FOR (condition) and CONTINUE. This might be Rushmore-optimized if you have a correct index, however, changing the index order temporarily will be much faster. (That is, you can change the index temporarily to process your records, and then change it back again.)
