Read record from data file.

The GET statement reads a record from the data file and splits the data among the field variables defined in the FIELD statement.

Set fileno to the value specified when opening the data file.

recordno specifies the record to read. If this parameter is omitted, the BHT uses the current record number +1, reading the next record.
