1  POSITION
 

2  /BUCKET
Directly positions the structure pointer to a specific bucket of an
indexed file or a relative file.

   Format

     POSITION/BUCKET  bucket_vbn [/INDEX=n]
 

3  Parameter
 

bucket_vbn

   The virtual block number (VBN) of the selected bucket. If the
   bucket includes more than one block, specify the VBN of the first
   block.
 

3  Qualifier
 

/INDEX

      /INDEX=n

   Specifies the relative key for the bucket of an indexed file.
   The /INDEX qualifier is necessary only when the index number
   information is unavailable in the bucket header. For example,
   you use this qualifier to analyze a Prolog 1 or Prolog 2 file (no
   bucket header) or a Prolog 3 file with a corrupted bucket header.
   You can also use this qualifier to override the index number in a
   Prolog 3 file bucket header.

   The number you use specifies the key. For example, /INDEX=0
   specifies that the bucket is a primary index or primary data
   bucket, and /INDEX=1 specifies that the bucket is found in the
   first alternate index structure.
 

2  /RECORD
Positions the pointer at a specific record in an indexed or relative
file.

   Format

     POSITION/RECORD  record-offset

   The offset (in bytes) from the beginning of the bucket to the
   desired record. By default, the offset is a decimal number. If
   you want to use hexadecimal notation to specify the offset, use
   the format %Xn.
