Ravi,
Give number (in your case 710) at the command prompt and press PF8. |

710 <PF8> takes you down 710 recs from where you are.
The Locate command (L for short) takes you to the particular record:
L 710
works from anywhere in the file. |

not only works, but meets the "requirement" of not using PF8. . . .
Ya gotta wonder where some of the requirements are generated - maybe an interview question? |

| The poster might have meant "without repeatedly using PF8" to move way down in the file (benefit of the doubt?). |

Yup, might have. . .
At least one other person read it that way as their suggestion included using PF8 
Good thing there are many of us reading these as we often get multiple interpretations. |
