RE: Readp statement wait indefinitely

How can that ever do anything other than wait for a record to be inserted? You 
are setting the pointer at the first record in the file then asking it to read 
the one before that which cannot at that time exist! Or am I not understanding 
this?

Hi All,
 
I need some assistance in understanding the concept of how ReadP statment 
works.   I see the following set of statments in one of our RPGLE programs:
 
*Loval          SetLL           File1
                   ReadP(E)     File1
 
The above ReadP statement is simply waiting for infinite time till a record is 
inserted into File1.       I expected a BOF or EOF condition.     I would like 
to know on what conditions a ReadP statement waits for a record to be inserted 
and in what condition just returns "No Record Found" condition.
 
Please help me in understanding this concepts.
 
TIA,
Nanda
