ADD SEQUENCE NUMBER

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS = (1,80,SEQNUM,ZD,A)

NOW SORT SEQ NUM IN DESCENDING ORDER
SORT FIELDS=(81,4,ZD,D)

INCLUDE ONLY 2ND LAST REC
SORT FILEDS = COPY
INCLUDE COND = (81,4,ZD,EQ,0002')

REMOVE SEQ NUM FROM FILE & THIS REC IS SELECTED
SORT FIELDS =COPY
OUTREC FIELDS = (1,80)

Answer / abhijit

Suppose file has 100 Record

1,2,3.........................100

a) Read the file and Count the number of records into a variable
Suppose CNT_VAR = 100

b) Suppose you want to read 2nd record from Last

So Set N = 2

c) Now to find the search variable compute the below

SRC_VAR = CNT_VAR - N i.e (100 - 2)

SRC_VAR = 98

d) Now Read the file to pick 98th record from top

Answer / sunilkumar

First open the file in reverse order using OPEN command

OPEN FILE file-name REVERSE

Then read twice to get the 2nd last record.

Answer / santhosh vayathuri

for this we need to do fallowing steps

1) read all the records and store into an array and count
value store into an var

2) from that array subtract count var by 1 we will get last
2nd record

ex :: array(count-1) == last 2nd rec

88 class is used for
