Template:Dataset:KeyEQ subtitle
KeyEQ returns a Boolean enumeration to indicate whether the specified key was found within the Dataset object. If true, the object is positioned to that record.
This function sets the read position of a VSAM dataset to the record key specified. A subsequent read of the Dataset object will return the specified record.

Syntax terms
| %boolean | An enumeration object of type Boolean to contain the returned value of AmDaemon. AmDaemon returns True if issued on a Daemon-associated thread; otherwise it returns False. |
|---|
| %boolean | A Boolean enumeration value |
|---|---|
| key | A key object. |
Syntax terms
| %boolean | An enumeration object of type Boolean to contain the result of the positioning of the dataset object to key key . KeyEQ returns True if the specified key is found; otherwise it returns False.
|
|---|---|
| Key | The value used to position the Dataset object. |
Usage notes
- The default for Key is nulls. Setting the value to nulls will cause reads to begin from the first record. .
