Set Linkage for Chain Sets

The way in which the records in a chain set are linked together is specified by one or a combination of the following pointer options:

NEXT (required)- The owner points to the first member. Each member points to the member after it. The final member points back to the owner establishing a ring structure.

The NEXT pointer in John Done's record occurrence addresses June Moon's record occurrence.
PRIOR (optional)- The owner points to the last member in the set. The last member points to the next-to-the-last member. The first member points to the owner creating a reverse ring.

The PRIOR pointer in John Done's record occurrence addresses Sandy Shore's record occurrence.
OWNER (optional)- Each member points to the owner.

The OWNER pointer in each member addresses the OWNER record.
