I am working on setting up an approval work flow and am confusing myself on
SETLL vs. SETGT.

I have the sample data of:

user - approval amnt
mwills - 0.00
mwills - 100.00
mwills - 10000.00

If the total amount is 50, it should use the 0.00 approval work flow. Would
I have to "SETGT ('mwills', 50) myfile" then do a READP to get the record I
want?

Does SETLL set the file pointer just before the record and SETGT set the
file pointer just after? Would it work in my example?
