File Pointers

["Lewis Libman" <LLibman@xxxxxxxx>]

Small problem, is this the answer?

Program A, writes a record to the order detail file using logical LL0001LA.
Program A, then immediately calls program B, which is passed the order number 
to recalculate the total order amount in the detail file to update the order 
header file.  Program B uses a different logical, LL0001LB, over the order 
detail file.  Program B, does a CHAIN to the first record for the order, then a 
subsequent READE until end of order.

QUESTION???  Where is the pointer sitting when Program B does its first
                           CHAIN to the order detail file LL0001LB?  Is it 
where the 
                           last record was written or where?

Thanks for your help.
