Answer / pravin
there are too many ways-
1. declare that flat file as a edf in pgm and rename the
rcd-format and field name than set the pointer on 15 record
by setll and then read it.
2. define a per-run time array with fromfile(name of flate
file). then see th2 arrays 15 index value.
this are two methods. i have 2 more methods also
