while declaring a file in a file section, have two file
records declared at zero level... ex.
FD
01 Var-data-1 pic x().
05
05
.
.
01 Var-data-2 pic x().

we can read an input rec of variable length.For that u need
to declare
01 main-rec
05 rec-data pic x(m) <== m should be max length of rec
specified in file declaration(avg length, max length).
05 rec-len pic s9(4) comp
precedure div...
.
.
.
read infile at end...
else move in-rec into main-rec.
