<div class="section"> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Some of the high-level languages provide access to the server
database I/O feedback area. When accessing a remote VSAM RRDS, this area will
contain the relative record number. However, when accessing other types of
VSAM data sets, the relative record number is not known and a value of -1
is returned as the relative record number.</div>

<div class="section"><p>Additional considerations might apply when accessing CICS files which
are to be read or written by a System/370™ host due to the way a System/370 host
stores data. For example, the System/370 host representation of
a floating point number is different from the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server
