How to read records which is in sequential file in reverse order ? Exp. 1 2 3 4 5 . i want 5 4 3 2..

Answer / abhishek

i am giving you pseudo code of same
suppose we have 5 records

rec-no 1-->10
rec-no 2-->1
rec-no 3-->25
rec-no 4-->35
rec-no 5-->20

read sequential file to get record count of file

close file

define an array whose size is equal to record count of file


open file

read file in loop

move current record of sequential file to last subscript of
array define above ( this can be taken care using perform
varying)

read the array starting from subscript 1 to record count

this will be similar to reading sequntial file in reverse
order.....


thanks,

Abhishek

Answer / mustafa i

Abhishekh your logic is correct
just to add to it
we can even do it by reading the file only once.

1)Read File & Move into an array until EOF also increment a
counter after every read.

3)By decrementing the Counter and using it as subscript
we can now read the array and hence the file in
reverse order.

Answer / abhishek

@Rakesh You can define table occurs clause based on the No
of records that input file have.

All, You can reverse the file it self using external sort
before reading it.
