I guess my main concern here is that you're creating a loop here 
when you can just do a *LOVAL SETLL and READ the last record.  Your 
file is already keyed.  Why are you chaining to every record in your 
file?   (Very costly performance wise, particularly if you have a 
large number of records in this file later on.)   If I understand the 
intent of your programme (and I guess I'm not understanding 
completely why you would want to do this...), you only need the last 
record in the keyed physical.
