The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Tu use *START the file should be keyed and this is a programme described

*START can be used for both a keyed or non-keyed file, and for both
externally-described and program-described. A *START SETLL doesn't
specify any search argument, it simply positions the cursor at the
beginning of the file.
Yes, that actually works quite well. In ILE RPG.
Unfortunately, the application is in MI, *START only works in ILE RPG
(not OPM RPG), and so far as I'm aware, since ILE doesn't use OPM MI,
there's no way to even see the MI equivalent to an ILE RPG program.
Then, too, there's the problem with being unable to recover on an SQL
VIEW, if one tries to randomly access a record that's excluded from the
VIEW. A solution specific to the top of the file wouldn't be much help
there.
On a more pleasant note, the brute-force iterative solution (i.e.,
iterating through SETLL with an increasing RRN until you get to one that
doesn't raise an error) does work, and isn't as big of a mess as I
thought it would be, at least in the RPG test program.
