Re: Reading records by key using C runtime record i/o functions

You want _rreadn()

Http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iadthelp/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.iseries.langref.doc/rzan5mst225.html - search for _rreadn. _rreadk does not honor the current cursor position, although you could kinda-sorta emulate that (assuming there is some uniqueness).

All,

Little confused...(and I haven't been gone that long! )

_ropen() to open a record file
_rlocate() to position to a particular key (SETLL?)
_rreadk() to read by key (CHAIN or READE?)
_rreadm() to read next (READ?)

if I want to read a set of records with a certain key, do I need to
call _rlocate() followed by _rreadK() in a loop or can I use
_rreadn()?

Not I'll be dealing with a partial key...

Thanks!
