int KISAMStartBeg(KHAND handle, int path)
| Parameter | Type | Purpose |
| handle | KHAND | handle of table |
| path | int | index path required. If negative records can be read in reverse order. |
This establishes a new sequential path for the handle notionally positioning the cursor before the first record on that index path. The path number corresponds to one of the available indices. If negative the path will be reversed and cursor will be set before the last key reading backwards.
