Hi Vern,
For a keyed file, I would expect that it's just getting a pointer from
the index to the record to be read. And along those lines, if I use
*START, I'd think it would use the pointer from the first index entry.
In either case, if the index either does not have an entry for the
search argument, or the index is empty, then %equal is *OFF. But if
there is an entry for the search argument, then it would be *ON. And if
the index is not empty, then there is an entry for *START.
Same thing with %found. I'm coming to the conclusion that if *START or
*END is used, then %EQUAL and %FOUND are set to *OFF, period.
At this point, it's apparent what the actual behavior is, so I've
programmed accordingly. But it would be nice to see some documentation
thereof :)

Hi Peter
SETLL does not position on a record - with *START it positions before the first record. I think %found doesn't have a way to know about what in the file in this case. Someone can help out here.
