NOSEQCHECK

The NOSEQCHECK option disables sequence-checking of keys in indexed files.

Setting this option ON enables records to be written in any order to indexed files opened in sequential access mode. Otherwise records must be written in ascending order of prime key.

Syntax:

NOSEQCHECK = { ON } { OFF }

Parameters:

ON
Do not check the sequence of prime keys when writing to an indexed file with ACCESS SEQUENTIAL.
OFF
Return status 21 if prime keys are written out of sequence to an indexed file with ACCESS SEQUENTIAL.

Properties:

Default: OFF

Comments:

Note:

Micro Focus strongly suggest that you control the order in which records are written to indexed files within the program itself, by using the ACCESS SEQUENTIAL or ACCESS DYNAMIC syntax, and avoid using the NOSEQCHECK configuration option.
