I have a non-keyed view (created with CREATE VIEW) that I need to
reset the pointer to the beginning of the file each time I hit the
routine. When I use *START I get the error "RNF5319 Factor 2 operand
has a data type that is not allowed for this operation."

setll *start HOURCODER;
read HOURCODER;

What am I doing wrong?

According to the manual:

"If the file is accessed by relative record number, |search-arg must
contain an integer literal, named constant, or numeric field with no
decimal positions."

Thus, *START is not valid. *LOVAL might work. I had this problem
before but I can't find the example to tell you what I did.
