Booth,
It's the cycle: it reads records from the primary and all secondary
files, evaluates which one is the next to be processed and then moves
the data from that record to the program fields. So if *IN01 and *INMR
are on, you have the data from the primary file and you know there's a
matching record in a secondary file, but you don't have that data yet.

hmmm... I don't read the manual well enough sometimes, but I believe
that the MR indicator, and the file processing, is such that the next
02 is always there, and known. Otherwise there would be no way for the
program to know which record to grab next. In other words, when MR is
on, then 01 and 02 are also on. If there is one 01 record and 5 matching
02 records, then MR will stay on while all six records are processed. If
MR is off then we know we have a widow or an orphan.
Then again I could be wrong as heck. :)
