READ PRIOR retrieves a record from an Indexed file which logically precedes
the one which was made current by the previous file access operation, if such a
logically previous record exists. READ PRIOR can only be used with a file whose
organization is INDEXED and whose access mode is DYNAMIC. The file must
be opened for INPUT or I-O. Example 6–35 is an example of READ PRIOR in a
program.
