Answer / sundar selvaraj
- Read is a sequential operation whereas FIND is a random
search.
- Read returns records in the order of descriptor whereas
FIND returns records records in the ISN order
- Though both READ & FIND intiate a processing loop, READ
command returns only *COUNTER and *ISN. FIND returns
*NUMBER, *COUNTER AND *ISN
- Dynamic change of read direction is possible with READ.
This is not possible with FIND.
- Read is considered efficient for a large number of
records. FIND is efficient for a smaller number of records.

One difference is read after readin the record displays
them in sorted order of the descriptor but in case of find
the records are in sorted order of ISN
