yes, that is what I'm afraid of and that is what I come up with. It is
quite ugly. It gets even uglier because I'll also have to consider readp(n)
could encounter %eof condition. From what I know, when %eof is encountered,
the cursor is lost. So, I'll have to position it to the top of the file and
do a reade. what in the world...

you will have to do a readp(n) to move the cursor up one, and then reade.

Subject: Re: Re-READ the current record
two problems with this:
1) reade is usually performed in a loop and I need the record to know if I
need to perform the update.
2) setll/chain won't work if the file that it is looping thru does not have
a unique key.

Setll (mykey1) MYFILE;
If %Equal(MYFILE) and needUpdated();
//Read with Lock
reade (mykey1) MYFILE;
Endif;

Objet : Re-READ the current record
Is there a way to re-READ the current record (without using CHAIN) that the
RPG program has just READ?
For example:
reade(n) (mykey1) MYFILE; //read it with no lock
if not %eof() and needUpdated();
==> Need to re-read with locked how???
endif;
