<GASP!> I spoke too soon. I _could_ run through this section twice and
only set the date to *loval before the first time.

I do set the date to *loval before entering this part of the code. I just
neglected to show it here.

I'd be concerned that the date field is likely to be the highest date
from the last read cycle, not *loval. After the first read in the
program it is unlikely that he will ever find a record with a date lower
than the highest date read since the first cycle of the program.

I believe that as long as the f-spec for the file FILE is defined as
keyed, you SHOULD get the records in Item (ascending)

Subject: READE with partial key

Suppose I have a file defined via DDL with unique key consisting of

Item (ascending)
Date (ascending)


// Set position in file
SETLL Item FILE;

// Only while this item
Dow '1';

Reade Item FILE;
If %EOF(FILE);
Leave;
Endif;

process record . . .

Enddo;

I am not assured of getting records within this item in ascending Date
sequence, am I? Some testing I'm doing now shows that I don't.
