Hello,

Apparently there is no way to set the file pointer in non-keyed files to explicitly BOF or EOF.

The closest I could get in terms of documentation is here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=programs-setting-position-in-file

Not helpful for my case, though. So plan B it is. Explicit close and open.

Thanks to all for chiming in!

:wq! PoC
