I'd say it depends...

I have seen code, even from "experienced" developers, that did not even
know that SETLL or READ existed. To read a whole series of line items
they would chain by a combination of order number and line number,
starting the line number with 1 and incrementing until the chain was
unsuccessful. To me, that is an excellent area to replace chain with
setll/read.

<opinion>
It would take an awful lot of convincing for me to wholesale replace all
chains with SETLL and READ. And, I'd bet big money that there are those
on this list that would argue that if you are going whole hog to replace
CHAIN's then why replace them with SETLL and READ vs SQL access. (right
Mr. Odom?)
