Use Of ABS With Get & Put

[Glen Martin]

Hello

Question concerning the use of ABS With the GET & PUT statements with Random Access files. If GET OR PUT is used without using ABS the SEEK(FileNr) returns the next record to be written or read but if ABS is used then it returns the record size+the next record to be written or read.

This is'nt documented in the manual so is this normal?

This is definitely an unintended side effect. It will be corrected in the next update. Thanks for noticing!
