I have a KSDS with five records in total. I need to perform the following. Issue is the Key fileds have high values in them for the first three records. IF i were to perform a read, would i be able to read (top to bottom), will vsam pick the first record itself and acknowledge as first record or will it skip the first three records as high values and treat the fourth record as the first one read.

Please clarify.
