FPOINT

Sets the logical and physical record pointers to the specified record.

Syntax

          I16V    I32V

   FPOINT(filenum,lrecnum);

Parameters

filenum

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Passes the file number of the file where the pointer is to be set.

lrecnum

32-bit signed integer by value (required)

Passes the relative physical record number where the physical record pointer is to be positioned. Record numbering starts with zero or one, depending on how the file was created.

Operation Notes

This intrinsic does not read the advance flag. It positions both the logical record pointer and the physical pointer to the appropriate record. When its function is complete, it sets the advance flag to FALSE.

Condition Codes

CCE

Request granted.

CCG

Request denied. The physical record pointer position is unchanged. Positioning was requested at a point beyond the file limit.

CCL

Request denied. The physical record pointer position is unchanged because of one of the following:

Invalid filenum parameter.
The lrecnum parameter specified a record marked for deletion.
