## FIND

PURPOSE:
To read a record from a FILE.

    STATEMENT SYNTAX:
    {stno} FIND{RECORD}(unit,ERR=,END=,DOM=,IND=
                {,KEY=}{,TBL=}) {input var list}{IOL=}

    EXAMPLE:
    0120 FIND (5,KEY= K4$,DOM = 0140, ERR = 999)*,R$,*,G
    0500 FIND (11,KEY= STR (R:"0000")) IOL= 0510
    7600 FIND (X+1,KEY= A$+"1",ERR = 999) A$,B$,C$,*,IOL = 0900
    9876 FINDRECORD(1,KEY=K$)A$

NOTES:
The FIND statement is used to READ data from a DIRECT or SORT file in the same manner as the READ command. The only difference is seen when the key specified in the KEY= parameter is not contained in the file. In this case the FIND leaves the next key pointer where it is while the READ would advance the next key pointer to the 1st key greater than the key that was specified.
