Re: Confused on SETLL vs. SETGT -- RPG400-L

Mike,

From the manual:

The SETLL operation positions a file at the next record that has a key or relative record number that is greater than or equal to the search argument (key or relative record number) operand specified (search-arg).

The SETGT operation positions a file at the next record with a key or relative record number that is greater than the key or relative record number specified in factor 1.

So, if the search argument does not exist in the file, there is no difference between SETLL and SETGT. If it does exist SETLL positions just before that record, so you'll get it with the next read. SETGT positions after the record, so you'll get the next one.

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?
