Answer / anjiii
yes we can read input file with variable length.
while declaring a file in a file section, have two file
records declared at zero level... ex.
FD
01 Var-data-1 pic x().
05
05
.
.
01 Var-data-2 pic x().

we can read an input rec of variable length.For that u need
to declare
01 main-rec
05 rec-data pic x(m) <== m should be max length of rec
specified in file declaration(avg length, max length).
05 rec-len pic s9(4) comp
precedure div...
.
.
.
read infile at end...
else move in-rec into main-rec.
I think in this way we can do.If i'm wrong plz let me know..

Scenario: I have 3 Input Files.Read the first i/p file and depending on certain business logic, I want to read wither i/p file-2 or i/p file-3.Now, depending on certain business logic applied to the record read from either file-2 or file-3, I decide to write them to either output file-2 or output file-2. Question: How many job steps are necessary to implement a solution for the above.
