RE: READ for not exact key

I will say first I am in the SETLL READ DOW group.

From what I remember SETLL does not set %EOF. %EOF Without a file designator uses last file read, in this case we don't have enough code to know the file it is referencing. So the DOU %EOF has no reference on the first pass. This coding made more sense with indicators because you can set the indicator before entering your loop. You cannot in the program set %EOF.

Of course if I'm wrong about SETLL and %EOF this email was a waste.

Subject: READ for not exact key

pol setll srbpol
if %equal
dou %eof
pol reade srbpol
ohords iflt 30
eval ohsrom = svsrom


Pol = order#


actual key of file is

order#
orderline

when running I am only getting one read. Is that correct?

the thing is, I dont have order lines from the previous file read that header where I get the order#/.

Do I create my own order line values? or should this be working.
