MOVEFIRST, MOVELAST, MOVENEXT, MOVEPREVIOUS Statements
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Make records current according to their relative position in an ISAM table.


 Syntax



  MOVEFIRST #  filenumber%


  MOVELAST #  filenumber%


  MOVENEXT #  filenumber%


  MOVEPREVIOUS #  filenumber%

 Remarks


 The  filenumber% is the number used in the  OPEN statement to open the
 table. The  MOVEFIRST,  MOVELAST,  MOVENEXT, and  MOVEPREVIOUS statements
 allow you to make records current according to their relative position on
 the current index in an ISAM table.

 Statement              Effect
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  MOVEFIRST             First record becomes current.
  MOVELAST              Last record becomes current.
  MOVENEXT              Next record becomes current.
  MOVEPREVIOUS          Previous record becomes current.


 The action of these statements is made relative to the record that is
 current according to the current index.

 Using  MOVEPREVIOUS when the first indexed record is current moves the
 current position to the beginning of the table. The beginning of an ISAM
 table is the position before the first record according to the current
 index.

 Using  MOVENEXT when the last indexed record is current moves the current
 position to the end of the table. The end of an ISAM table is the position
 following the last record according to the current index.
