>> Don't you need to do a setll, then do a read, then do a compare to your key, to see if the record you seek is actually there? << No. You can do a SETLL with a partial or full key and define an EQ indicator. It will turn on if there is a matching record in the database, without the necessity of altering the RPG input record. If you use a (shudder) program described file, you can even use a key value that doesn't end at a field boundary. Most of the time SETLL and READE obviate the need for testing the retrived key.
