REREAD Specification (MATRIX-END MATRIX command)

The REREAD specification indicates that the current READ statement should begin with the last record read by a previous READ statement.

  • REREAD has no further specifications.
  • REREAD cannot be used on the first READ statement to read from a file.
  • If you omit REREAD, the READ statement begins with the first record following the last one read by the previous READ statement.
  • The REREAD specification is ignored on the first READ statement following a call to the EOF function for the same file.
