He has to use the %found BIF to see if there are any records that have that partial key. If so, he is guaranteed to get the first one according to the FIFO, LIFO, etc., settings.

If not found, well, it's sort of like you are the slowest car on the freeway when you are the only on the road, so go to the right lane!!

What if the file pointer is currently after the first match?

If I CHAIN to a file giving only a partial key, am I guaranteed to get
the first match in the key sequence?
