I've now got an MI implementation of the "iteratively SETLL until a record (or EOF) is found" in the initial testing stage, but I've got a problem.

The concept works just fine if I know the read is going to fail, and go straight to the iterative SETLL gambit before attempting to read a record, but when I actually let the READ operation fail (whether in RPG or in MI), the first SETLL operation throws a CPF5129 ("I/O is not allowed because the program device or member . . . is in error")

Anybody know how, short of closing and reopening the file, to reset that state?

Or does anybody know of a flag in the FIB, or the Open Feedback, or someplace similar, that will tell me it's an SQL VIEW instead of a DDS LF? It's been a few years since I was in those structures last (I think it was when I figured out how to do RLA reads of files containing SQL-only fields without crashing).
