Using Short card you can write the last 3 records.
Short card as :

SORT FIELDS=COPY SKIPREC=97 STOPAFT=03

It will copy the last three records and put it in a file.

Cobol program can use this file containing records.

Answer / harsha

Read file sequentially and load it in table. keep check on
the number of ocurances(i.e. number of records).

Once the table is fully loaded, you know the total
occurances. Say it is X. Now read the table with occurance
X-3
