Re: SetLL And DESCEND

If you want to read the previous, would you just just SETLL and READP? 
Similar to SETLL and READE.

SetLL And DESCEND






I have a file that is keyed descending, i.e.

Key CustID
99 AA100
96 CJ450
92 XC344
36 ZX908

If I want to start reading at key 96, will

SETLL 96 FmtName;

Position the cursor just before key 96? What if I want to position the
cursor one key previous to the customer. Would

SETLL 97 FmtName;

Position the cursor just before key 96, in this case? I have never used
SetLL with a DESCENDing key... HELP!
