I have a sequential file of 100 records. How do I load the records into a two dimensional array ?..

Answer / gopal

01 INPUT-REC.
02 REC-ROWS OCCURS 10 TIMES INDEXED BY I.
03 REC-COLS OCCURS 10 TIMES INDEXED BY J.
04 REC-DATA PIC X(20 ) - assume

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
READ FILE(INPUT) INTO(WORK-REC) - assume length as 100
SET I TO 1. SET J TO 1.
PERFORM 1000-WRITE 10 TIMES
STOP RUN.
1000-SECTION.
MOVE WORK-REC TO REC-DATA(I J).
SET J UP BY 1.
READ FILE(INPUT) INTO(WORK-REC).
This will move the 10 occurences of J that is (I 1) to (I
10)
Then the outer loop should be incremented 10 times that is
I from 1 to 10.

Answer / neilsh

It should be
01 xyz
05 pqr occurs 2 times indexed by i
07 abc occurs 50 times indexed by j
09 rec pic x(40).

so it would be like 50 occurance of rec and then 2 occurance
of abc

50 + 50 = two divisions

03 REC-DATA PIC X(10 ) - assume

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
READ FILE(INPUT) INTO(WORK-REC) - assume length as 100
SET I TO 1.
PERFORM 1000-WRITE 100 TIMES
STOP RUN.
1000-SECTION.
MOVE WORK-REC TO REC-DATA(I).
SET I UP BY 1.
READ FILE(INPUT) INTO(WORK-REC).
