By the time you get this, I'll already be RTFMing this one, and probably writing test programs as well, but:

Given a file with two keys, first a 10-character alpha, then a 3-digit packed,

If you do a SETLL on just the leading 10-character alpha key, will %EQUAL reflect the presence or absence of a "hit"?

If you do a SETGT on just the leading 10-character alpha key, will it behave as if you did it with *LOVAL for the second key (i.e., go to the leading key you specified), or *HIVAL for the second key (i.e., the next available leading key)?
