Answer / venkat

SETLL always looks for Equal or Greater value.
in the given entries we don't have 25 so it points to the greater to 25 record which was 30.
here we are using READP so the answer is 20

Answer / thakur

Ladies, don't fight.

Answer is simple:-
If you do setll with 25 and then READP ,program will read last record as SETLL sets pointer using RRN and not field value.

For eg:- To retrieve 2nd record , you have to set pointer at 3rd record and then READP.

Answer / shishir

DEAR ITS REALLY SIMPLE U SHOULD TRY IT ON YOUR OWN:
SUPPOSE EMPNO FIELD IS KEY FIELD OF FILE HAVING RECORD :10,20,30,40
SO WAT HAPPEN READP READ PREVIOUS RECORD AND SETLL SEARCHING DATA THROUGH KEYFIELD
SO AFTER READING RECORD 20 IT GOES TO 30 BUT WE ARE SEARCHING FOR 25 WHICH IS NOT PRESENT SO IT WILL RETURN 20 AND OUTPUT
MEANS IF FIELD HAVING DATA LIKE : 10,20,24,30,40
THEN IN THIS TIME OUTPUT WILL ME 24 OK BYE T.C

Answer / ardeep

If the SETLL operation is not successful (no records found condition), the file is positioned to the end of the file.

10 20 30 40

So when 25 is searched the pointer goes to 40.

And now when READP (Read Previous) is issued it fetches
30.

Answer is 30.


Have Fun :) !!
