Abstract
One of a series of hardware/firmware primitives is disclosed for converting a general purpose digital computer into a database machine. The invention comprises a hardware/firmware implemented machine instruction which sequentially checks each database record in a database area beginning at the page/line number address (database address) contained in a register, until the next active record is located. The database address of that active record is then loaded into a register.
