7.1.3

Outline sequential file organisation on ordered records and how records can be retrieved by using sequential access via the key field.

Sequential file organisation on ordered records means that the data is not sorted sequentially by the ID and that the search will start at the beginning of the file and go up the file searching for the requested part hoping that it will appear.

ex:
 * ID || Data ||
 * 4353 || grg ||
 * 0692 || uku ||
 * 8879 || rtz ||
 * 0143 || vnv ||

In this ordered file, if the system was searching for 0002 then it would start at the beginning of the programm and search so long until it finds 0002. If the file wasnt found, it would go to the next file.
