RESTORE 

The RESTORE statement resets the data pointer to the beginning of a DATA
statement so that the data can be reused.

Syntax 

RESTORE [line_id]

Parameters 

line_id          Line identifier of a DATA statement in the same program
                 unit as the RESTORE statement.  The RESTORE statement
                 positions the data pointer at the first datum in the
                 specified DATA statement.  If no line_id is specified,
                 then the data pointer is positioned to the first datum
                 in the first DATA statement in the program unit.

Example 

     100 DATA 1,2,3
     110 DATA 4,5,6
     120 READ A,B,C     !A=1, B=2, C=3
     130 READ D,E,F     !D=4, E=5, F=6
