What is the difference between READ BY ISN and FIND

Answer Posted / 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.
