Re: SETGT *End/*Start

hump..I wonder if you really can use *Start/*End with SETGT in VisualAge RPG
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/books/sc09245102.htm

"Once the SETGT operation is performed, the file is positioned so that it is
immediately before the first record whose key or relative record number is
greater than the search argument specified (search-arg). This record can be
retrieved reading the file. You can use *START and *END for file
positioning. If you specify either *START or *END for search-arg, note the
following..."

For the record, *Start/*End was introduced in v4.4 and the "What's New

Subject: SETGT *End/*Start

We are on 5.3 and I can not use the *END or *START
with SETGT as shown below. In SEU the error message
RNF5318 pops up when enter is pressed. I can not find any
docs on the cause of error or that I can even use the *START/*END
with SETGT. However, they both work fine for SETLL.

Am I missing a PTF??

thanks
