READ statement
The
READ statement can be used with any INPUT or UPDATE file. It either
transmits a record from the data set to the program variable or
sets a pointer to the record in storage.
 >>-READ FILE--(file-reference)---------------------------------->
.-IGNORE--(expression)------------------.
>--+---------------------------------------+--;----------------><
+-INTO(ref)--+------------------+-------+
| +-KEY(expression)--+ |
| '-KEYTO(reference)-' |
'-SET(pointer-ref)-+------------------+-'
+-KEY(expression)--+
'-KEYTO(reference)-'
|
The keywords can appear in any order. A READ statement without
an INTO, SET, or IGNORE option is equivalent to a READ with an IGNORE(1).
