Answer / mr. cooooool

HI...........
PLZZZZZZ USE DIS LOGIC.


PROCEDURE DIVISION.
OPEN INPUT FILE1.
PERFORM READ-PARA UNTIL EOF = 'D'.
DISPLAY COUNT.
CLOSE FILE1.
STOP RUN.
READ-PARA.
READ FILE1
AT END
MOVE 'D' TO EOF
NOT AT END
PERFORM INSPECT-PARA
END-READ.
INSPECT-PARA.
INSPECT NAME TALLYING COUNT FOR ALL 'SHARMA'.

COUNT IS A WORKING-STORAGE VARIABLE WHICH WILL COUNT THE
OCCURENCE OF 'SHARMA'.

THANKS

Answer / abhay

using SORT UTILITY(OUTFIL) AND THROUGH SORT(OUTREC),its
possible..
..
1)THROUGH SORT UTILITY(OUTFIL):

//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//F1 DD DSN=....
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FILEDS=(1,4,CH,A)
OUTFIL FILE 1 INREC FIELDS=(10,5,CH,EQ,C'SHARMA')
*/
//

2)THROUGH SORT(OUTREC):

//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//DD1 DD DSN=....
//DD2 DD DSN=.... Where o/p contains SHARMA will move into DD2
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FILEDS=(1,4,CH,A)
OUTREC FIELDS=(10,5,CH,EQ,C'SHARMA')
*/

I just want read a certain Consecutive records. can any one please give me the procedure division Coding for this. I have coded the below coding but the READ-PARA is performing only 1 time even though I have 14 records in my input file (i.e FILE-1): PROCEDURE DIVISION. A000-SECTION. MOVE 0 TO I. OPEN INPUT FILE-1. IF CHECK-KEY1 > 0 DISPLAY "OPEN ERROR FOR FILE-1, CODE IS:" CHECK-KEY1 END-IF. OPEN EXTEND NEWFILE-1 IF CHECK-KEY3 > 0 DISPLAY "OPEN ERROR FOR NEWFILE-1 COD IS" CHECK-KEY3 END-IF. PERFORM READ-PARA THRU EXIT-PARA UNTIL EOF-REC = 'YES'. DISPLAY " FINALLY OUT OF LOOP" CLOSE FILE-1 CLOSE NEWFILE-1 STOP RUN. READ-PARA. ADD 1 TO I READ FILE-1 AT END MOVE 'YES' TO EOF-REC IF I > 3 AND < 10 PERFORM WRITE-PARA ELSE DISPLAY "NOT IN RANGE" END-IF. EXIT-PARA. EXIT. WRITE-PARA. WRITE NEW-REC FROM FILE1-REC.
