Answer / rashmi
Read By ISN:-
It reads the adabas file as per the ISN sequence. User
should know the ISN to fetch the record.
FIND:-
It finds the record from the adabas file as per the
descriptor value provided by the user. No need to know the
ISN value.
But both will provide output in ISN sequence.

Answer / kazim zaidi
Read by ISN i.e. Read Physical
File read in sequential order
you don't need to know the ISN
However, GET #ISN - you need to know ISN
Usually you read by Physical or by Descriptor, if the record meets certain criteria for update, record is read using GET followed by UPDATE (or DELETE).
FIND - Finds record based on the Descriptor value, if partial value given it creates a loop.
If you know the unique Descriptor value you can also code
FIND(1) filename ....
just to retrieve one record
