When using QSAM to read blocked records, you can direct the system to ignore the remaining records in the input buffer being processed. The next GET macro retrieves a record from another buffer. If format-V spanned records are being used, the next logical record obtained can begin on any segment in any subsequent block.

When you are using locate mode, the record address returned from the most recent GET macro remains valid until you issue the next GET. Issuing a RELSE macro does change the effect of a previous PUTX macro.
