<h3>Open file identifier (OPNID)</h3>

<dd>The position of the database file is set to the start position of the member currently open. After the start position is set, a read next operation gets the first record in the member.

<dd>The position of the database file is set to the end of the member currently open. After the end position is set, a read next operation gets the first record in the next member, if *ALL is specified for the MBR parameter of the Override with Database File (OVRDBF) command. Otherwise, a <i>get past end of file</i> exception occurs. A read previous operation gets the last record in the member.
