Re: Possible intereting SETLL behavior

Right, that is what I see with the %EQUAL - but if %EQUAL is *OFF, there can still be something to be READ - the SETLL and SETGT and even OPEN and CHAIN set a position from which to read, if possible.

SETLL does set the %EQUAL indicator if there is a record with the

operation to find).

Is there confusion between SETLL and SETLT? Should SetLowerLimits affect
the %found indicator? My understanding of SETLL is that the file marker is
positioned at a point just below the requested Limit but no attempt is
made by that instruction to read a record?

It does still seem odd that SETLL 0 file; for an arrival-sequence file
sets %found() to *off - there ARE records whose RRN > 0 (18 of them in
the file I'm reading), and this satisfies the definition of SETLL,
unless there is some unspoken special processing here.
