When SKIP is specified before any conditional keywords such as SELRECIF or IF, the SKIP keyword specifies the number of records at the beginning of the file that are bypassed before one is chosen for processing. When SKIP is used in conjunction with record selection criteria, SELRECIF, the records matching the selection criteria are bypassed. When used in conjunction with selection criteria, IF, any actions that are subordinate to the selection criteria are bypassed. Do not use SKIP to position the input file for its initial read. Use RID, NEWRID, or OLDRID to position the file.
