Nice thing about using SETLL is that it doesn’t load the record buffer, so the operation is faster than using a CHAIN or READ operation.
Q:
How do you know if a record exists without doing a READ and CHAIN?
How do you know if a record exists without doing a READ and CHAIN? is it possible with BIF's or ?

you can use SETLL and equal indicator to a specified record format/file name. If the record exist indicator is on otherwise not .
ORDER SETLLORDFIL 55 PRESNT
N55 GOTO NOTFND
Here if the indicator 55 is on then the record exists.
all the best
