Answer / abhishek
The first method is not very full proof. Actually it is not
necessary that RRN is always sequential.
Suppose initally there are 100 records in a file and so
does the RRN starts from 1 for first record and 100 for
last record.
If 1 record is deleted from the file RRN remains unchaned
and in that case adding 2 may cause a problem if system
does not get Record at that RRN it will read the next
sequential.

Answer / sreedhar reddy
Simple way is just read a PF process 1st record, then for second read ignore it. It is simple like having two read operations, first is at start of the loop and second is at just before end of the loop.
