Passing by reference, is passing the ADDRESS of a variable--to a subprogram. The subprogram is able to change the value contained in the variable.

Passing by content is passing the DATA contained within a variable--to a subprogram. The subprogram can NOT change the value of the data in the (calling program's) variable.

I have File 1 occurs 5 times with Employee-ID,Employee-Name,Employee-Dept (EEE and MECH). I have File 2 occurs 10 times with Employee-ID,Employee-Name,Employee-Dept (EEE,CIVIL,CHEMICAL and MECH). In FIle 1 and FIle 2 , for matching Employee-DEPT (Only MECH) , we need to move entire records from file1 to file 2. We should not use 2D array. Your help is needed here.
