Answer / kingmanish

For the KSDS file we can set the pointer on the last record.
After that use the command READ Previous to read the
records in the reverse order.

I am not very sure about flat file. May be we can use a
turn around.
Sort the file in descending order first and then start
reading.

Flat file may be read in reverse order by using the following code

READ file-name into data-name REVERSED.
