If the file does not contain a record with the referenced expression, the EXTERNAL GET NEXT statement will access the next existing record in the file.
|
EXTERNAL BEGIN at position NAME in file FILE NAME identifies the record that you want to access. It can be a noun or an expression. FILE is the name that contains the record.
