Answer / vikas pujar

If want to write new records :

1) Output - New records will be written , old will be
overwritten.

2) Extend - New records will be appended to existing ones

Where as :

1) I- O : Used to re-write the existing records, but not to
write new records

Answer / suputhru

I agree with vikas,

only in 2 modes: Output and Extend.

Answer / elite group

output or i/o mode

Answer / archana

Output, i/o and extended mode.

In a program, there are 2 sections defined say SECTION-A and SECTION-B. There is a paragraph say CALC-INT in both the sections. If this para has to be called directly for SECTION-A, then PERFORM CALC-INT will not work as it is present in both sections. How the PERFORM statement has to be coded here?
