Hello Jean-Marc,

If you use SETLL 1, systeme will set you on the first row, but it is not necessary the rrn(1) if it does not exist.

Thank you.

I have found a post about someone using RRN 0 to position to the file BOF, and encountered EOF in setll.

So I'm confused if RRN 1 is the correct way, no matter if RRN 1 exists: The example above states if SETLL is used for RRN 3 and there is no RRN 3, EOF is also set. I guess that there is no special handling of RRN 1 in the OS routines?

:wq! PoC
