RE: CHAIN Versus SETLL and READ When Data Needed

Personally I prefer to keep I/o to a minimum. If SetLL doesn't find it
why try to retrieve it?

My opinion is that the CHAIN is more efficient from both a

to opinions.

Or you could try this:


d keyDS           DS
d  fld1
d  fld2
d  fld3


/free
 $I = 4
 DoU ( $I = 1 Or %Equal(file) );
    $I = $I - 1;
    SetLL %KDS( keyDS : $I ) file;
 EndDo;

 If %Equal(file);
    ReadE %KDS( keyDS : $I ) file;
 EndIf;
/end-free
