&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''POSITION statement''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Syntax:'''  POSITION (lun) KEY=argument [,EXCP=statement label]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Discussion:'''  The POSITION statement moves the file pointer to a specified key. If the specified key is not found, the file pointer is moved to the next higher key in ascending ASCII order. &lt;br /&gt;
The lun must be opened to a keyed file. The KEY argument may be a string constant or string variable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The file pointer will be positioned to the specified key or to the next higher record if the key is not found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This statement does not result in runtime exceptions. For example, an exception 32 is not returned if the specified key is not found. Likewise, an exception 2 is not returned if the specified key is beyond the ASCII range of the keys in the file. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
'''Example:'''  POSITION (1) KEY=CUSTNO$, EXCP=9999&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
