Answer / santy

let consider,
First declear 2 count variables A,B.

first count all the records i.e. N and put it into A
varialbe.

compute statement B=A-100, i.e. B=N-100

now again use the read-para untill condition B=A

and in read para incrased the value of B=B+1 after each
read.

Answer / mobi and remya

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
PARA.
OPEN INPUT STUDFILE.
PERFORM PARA1 UNTIL EOF = 1.
DISPLAY 'TOTAL NO:OF RECORDS ' A.
COMPUTE B = A - 100.
MOVE 0 TO EOF.
CLOSE STUDFILE.
OPEN INPUT STUDFILE.
PERFORM PARA2 UNTIL EOF = 1.
CLOSE STUDFILE.
STOP RUN.
PARA1.
READ STUDFILE AT END MOVE 1 TO EOF.
COMPUTE A = A + 1.
PARA2.
READ STUDFILE AT END MOVE 1 TO EOF.
COMPUTE C = C + 1.
IF C >= B AND EOF NOT = 1
DISPLAY STUD-REC.

COMPUTE B = A - 100.
MOVE 0 TO EOF.
CLOSE STUDFILE.
OPEN INPUT STUDFILE.

CLOSE STUDFILE.

PARA1.
READ STUDFILE AT END MOVE 1 TO EOF.
COMPUTE A = A + 1.
PARA2.
READ STUDFILE AT END MOVE 1 TO EOF.
COMPUTE C = C + 1.
IF C >= B AND EOF NOT = 1
DISPLAY STUD-REC.
If anybody doesn't understand this logic i can explain..
In PARA2 the file is read from the beginning and the moment
the value of C reaches the value of B i.e value of C = B
and then it will satisfy the condition IF C >= B and from
there it will start displaying the records till end.

Answer / m.rajasekaran

Hi Mobi and Remya,

logic is correct

But in PARA2 u have coded that COMPUTE C = C + 1, How it
will work?

You should have moved B to C after calculating the value
of B in PARA1.Then only this code will work.

Let me know if any mistake in my answer.

Answer / giri12

Hi Santy in ur answer u mentioned that..
read-para untill condition B=A

Can you please explain it. Coz B=900 and A=1000(assume)
then how will be 900=1000?

Answer / venkat

in my view if it is a ksds cluster file use organization as
dynamic and accept the related value start reading the file
and write it..i think this will display the last hundred
records..
correct me..

Answer / guest

First move HIGH-VALUES to the key field and then read the
file.It will read the last record then put READ PREV in
loop 100 times to get the last 100 records.

Answer / heeraj r

Pls post the correct question. I am not sure what you mean
by COBOL file, is it PS or VSAM or Tape etc etc? If you
want last 100 records of a file use below SORT JCL, and if
required that output file can be read in your COBOL.

//S1 EXEC
PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD
SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD
SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DSN=... input
file
//OUT DD DSN=... output file
//TOOLIN DD
*
SUBSET FROM(IN) TO(OUT) KEEP INPUT LAST(100)
/*

Answer / kingmanish

question is ambiguous.
Could you please explain what do u mean by cobol file?

PLease specify what type of file??? Flat file? VSAM ??

Answer / kk

Hi,
u declare two count variable.first count all the
records.then using compute statement count - 100.now move
the count no to second one.now again use read at end.now
give the condition grater than count-2 display rec.

tell me about examine inspect and evaluate ?

given the following piece of code: CALL SUB-PGM USING A, B, C. CALL SUB-PGM USING A, C, C. (a) Both CALL statements will always produce same result. (d) Both CALL statements may produce different result. (c) Compile-time error because SUB-PGM is a dataname. (d) Compile-time error because A, B, C are used twice.
