Better to use SETLL with *START or *END than *LOVAL SETLL and *HIVAL
SETGT.  It's more obvious what's the code is doing.  Also, if you have a
keyed files that might contain null values, you don't necessarily get
the first or last record with *LOVAL and *HIVAL.

Bob is right. *START and *END have been there from the beginning for RPG
IV, but if I recall correctly, they weren't documented in the first
release(s?) of the manual.
