A scrollable cursor allows you to do that. You only need to define very
well the WHERE and the ORDER BY clauses. When you open the cursor, you can
even set it to point past the last row/record (or just at the beginning
when opened) and start issuing a FETCH PREVIOUS SQL statement, it is just
the same as READP or READPE. If it gives you back a NOT FOUND sql state,
it is because your WHERE clause was not specifying that condition. By the
way, you should also check the Optimizer that will tell you to construct an
index with a specific set of columns/fields based on your query, that way
it won't have to create an access path and the engine will use it every
time you run it.

But you can't do a fetch that will retrieve a record before 'pet'.list
In RPG, after a setll, you can do a readp.

declare a cursor like the following and open it:--
select * from xyz
where key1 > 'pet'
or key1 = 'pet' and key2 > 'cat'
or key1 = 'pet' and key2 = 'cat' and key3 > 'purple'
order by key1, key2, key3
each following fetch will read the next record to show.
