I'm almost sure that is for this reason that the alternate index exists.
Try to create an alternate index.
The AMS command to define and alternate index are:
Code:
DEFINE AIX (NAME(myVsam.AIX)   -
       RELATE(myFirstVsam))    -
       DATA (...)              -
       INDEX (...)     
DEFINE PATH (NAME(myVsam.PATH) -
       PENT(myVsam.AIX))
BLDINDEX                       -
       INDATASET(myFirstVsam)  -
       OUTDATASET(myVsam.AIX)


To have more information about VSAM try to visit this link:

I hope in this suggest.
