Re: READE with partial key -- RPG400-L

I would _hope_ that whether it was DDS or DDL defined would not make a
difference . . .

Wait a minute - I misread your e-mail.
I read DDS where you had typed DDL - my mistake.
In that case, as I haven't worked with DDL created files, I have to change
my response to - I don't know

I believe that as long as the f-spec for the file FILE is defined as
keyed, you SHOULD get the records in Item (ascending) Date (ascending)
order.

Suppose I have a file defined via DDL with unique key consisting of

Item (ascending)
Date (ascending)

// Set position in file
SETLL Item FILE;

// Only while this item
Dow '1';

Reade Item FILE;
If %EOF(FILE);
Leave;
Endif;

process record . . .

Enddo;

I am not assured of getting records within this item in ascending Date
sequence, am I? Some testing I'm doing now shows that I don't.
