If you chain by rrn, you can reset the file anywhere you need it.
After the chain, you can read the file sequentially.

HTH,

Subject: Resetting the File Pointer

It's been too long. I am trying to reset the pointer of a file to the
beginning of the file. Besides closing and reopening, how else do you do
this for a non-keyed file?

I tried:
setll *loval FILE;
RNF7055 Factor 1 *LOVAL is not valid for the specified operation.

Feels like a Monday....
