YS WE CANT ACCESS FLAT FILE RANDOMLY
IF WE WANT TO ACCESS PARTICULAR RECORD
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE KEYFIELD VALUE TO W-S VARIABLE
PERFORN UNTIL W-FLAG = 'Y'
READ FILE1 AT END MOVE 'Y' TO W-FLAG
NOT AT END
IF KEY-FILE1 = WS-KEY-VARIABLE
MOVE--------
ELSE
MOVE 'Y' TO W-FLAG.
pls correct me if anything wrong
