RE: Using RRN 0 to do Setll on arrival sequence file

Unfortunately you haven't really answered my question.
Can you physically look at the file in question? Is the first record rrn of
1 or rrn of 2.
Sounds a stupid question, I know, but please humor me

Yes.  Below is the actual test program.
In debug mode, eof gets set to *on and eof1 gets set to *off.

FBLPCUM    IF   E             DISK

D eof             s               n
D eof1            s               n

C     0             setll     BLPCUM
C                   read      BLPCUM
C                   eval      eof = %eof

C     1             setll     BLPCUM
C                   read      BLPCUM
C                   eval      eof1 = %eof

C                   eval      *inlr = *on

In your file, do you have a record with rrn of 1?

Yes.  I read the documentation and at that time I thought, and still
think, that is a wrong statement because one of the main purpose of
setll is to set the cursor to the record that has the equal to or the
next closest key value.

That statement seems to say that if there is no record that has the
same key value in the file, setll will set the cursor to the end of
the file position, which I think is a wrong statement.

Yes, I think it is at least recommended - I would not have used the
%eof to test what is done here. But this from the documentation is
interesting and answers both the original question and this one:

"If the SETLL operation is not successful (no records found
condition), the file is positioned to the end of the file."
