Thank Alan.  I just want to make sure that I'm not missing some types of
PTF.

However, I'll have to disagree with IBM rpg team on this.  SETLL is
supposed to set cursor to the equal to or next closest value in file.
If I want to position to the eof of a sequential file, I should use *end
to do so.

Okay Lim, then I have to agree with what Kurt responded with. An RRN of
0, well no record exists, therefore (as per the IBM manual) the file is
set to end-of-file condition, and is positioned AT the end-of-file. From
this, you therefore CANNOT  use an RRN of 0.

Yes.  The first record has RRN of 1.

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."
