Re: SetGT/ReadPE method Exception

from the manual
" If the SETGT operation is not successful (no-record-found condition), the
file is positioned to the end of the file. " 
 
Interestingly, there is an example, too.

 
 *  This example shows the use of *HIVAL.  The SETGT operation
 *  positions the file after the last record of a file in ascending
 *  order. The READP operation reads the last record (key value 91).
C
C     *HIVAL        SETGT     RECDB
C                   READP     RECDB                                  64

Let me re-phrase my question. When you use SETGT, and supply a key that is
the highest key value in a file, is the file repositioned to EOF, or is the
file not repositioned at all?
