Answer Posted / bibhuti swain
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.
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.
