I was just trying to update with more info:
SCAN does respect the currently set tag. It means, if you have a filtered index, the records will be excluded. Also, the record pointer will be moving in the order of the current TAG.
Usually it's a good idea to issue
SET ORDER TO
before running SCAN
(Unless you want to use SCAN WHILE ..)
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
