Re: START KEY EQUAL TO

Chuck,

Thank you! You hit it right on the head.

My apologies for not clarifying the actual values entered as docdw
asked for. Yes the 17 characters entered were present on the file. The
START command is apparently the issue as it appears to be doing a
comparison on the full key and not the first 17 characters, not
following the '85 standard. If I supply a complete and valid key the
record is found and status is '00'.

So, based on the reply from Chuck it appears to be an issue with the
compiler and runtime.

Thank you to all who replied!
