ADD SEQUENCE NUMBER

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

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
