Need help with KeyedFile.positionCursor()

["Robert Upshall" <rupshall@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I happened to stumble accross a problem today by mistake.

I have a KeyedFile object, say file.  I am trying to mimic a setll and reade
in RPG terms.  The KeyedFile has 6 fields in the key but I'm only concerened
with the first field.  The first key field is a 2S 0 in DSS.  Here is a code
snipet.

KeyedFile = new KeyedFile(system,  path);

file.setRecordFormat((new AS400FileRecordDescription(system,
path)).retrieveRecordFormat()[0]);

file.open(AS400File.READ_ONLY, 0, AS400File.COMMIT_LOCK_LEVEL_NONE);

Object[] key = new Object[1];
key[0] = new BigDecimal("01");

file.positionCursorBefore(key);

Record record = file.readNextEqual(key);

The problem is, when the file only has one record it will not get a hit on
the readNextEqual?

What am I doing wrong here?
