SET SOFTSEEK
SET SOFTSEEK toggles for "relative" SEEKing (looking for the next
higher key value when a search fails using SEEK).
Syntax
SET SOFTSEEK on/OFF/(<expL>)
Usage
If SOFTSEEK is ON and a match for the SEEK argument is not found, the
record pointer is set to the next record in the index with a higher key
value than the search key. If there is no record with higher key
value, the record pointer is positioned at LASTREC() + 1, EOF() returns
true (.T.), and FOUND() returns false (.F.).
If SOFTSEEK is OFF and a SEEK is unsuccessful, the record pointer is
positioned at LASTREC() + 1, EOF() returns true (.T.), and FOUND()
returns false (.F.).
Note that SET EXACT has no effect on a SEEK if SOFTSEEK is ON. Note
also that SET RELATION ignores SOFTSEEK and so updates the record
pointer in child work areas as if SOFTSEEK is OFF.
