I am wondering if a Fileman function is missing, or if I am going about things wrong.
I want to process all entries in a file (or in my case a sub-file). The usual way to do this is with an $order() through the global. But I thought that one rationale for not doing this was by insulating one's self with mid level functions. I.e. there is a rational for using GET1^DIQ instead of just reading the global directly. But in order to use GET1^DIQ, one needs to know the record number to request. But I have not been able to find a function that either 1) supports a "get next" type function, or 2) provides a list of possible IENs. So it seems to me that to process all records in a file or subfile, on MUST do direct reads with $order. And thus it seems that a $$GETLIST() is missing. What am I missing?
