I have PS flat file with 14 records. I want to read from
4th to 9th record and want to write those 6 records (4th
record to 9th record) to another PS file (output file).
there is no key defined in the input file. I just want read
a certain Consecutive records. can any one please give me
the procedure division Coding for this. I have coded the
below coding but the READ-PARA is performing only 1 time
even though I have 14 records in my input file (i.e FILE-1):
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
A000-SECTION.
MOVE 0 TO I.
OPEN INPUT FILE-1.
IF CHECK-KEY1 > 0
DISPLAY "OPEN ERROR FOR FILE-1, CODE IS:" CHECK-KEY1
END-IF.
OPEN EXTEND NEWFILE-1
IF CHECK-KEY3 > 0
DISPLAY "OPEN ERROR FOR NEWFILE-1 COD IS" CHECK-KEY3
END-IF.
PERFORM READ-PARA THRU EXIT-PARA UNTIL EOF-REC = 'YES'.
DISPLAY " FINALLY OUT OF LOOP"
CLOSE FILE-1
CLOSE NEWFILE-1
STOP RUN.
READ-PARA.
ADD 1 TO I
READ FILE-1
AT END MOVE 'YES' TO EOF-REC
IF I > 3 AND < 10
PERFORM WRITE-PARA
ELSE
DISPLAY "NOT IN RANGE"
END-IF.
EXIT-PARA.
EXIT.
WRITE-PARA.
WRITE NEW-REC FROM FILE1-REC.

HI FRIENDS,
AS U MENTIONED THAT, IT WAS A PS-FILE,SO IN UR COBOL
PROGRAM, U HAVE DECLARED AN KEY-VARIABLE IN INPUT-PS-FILE.
WELL, SO, YOUR WAY OF APPROACH WAS WRONG.
HERE IS THE RIGHT CONCEPT:
In a PS-FILE, you cannot use any key-variable. only record-
number if you have defined for a particular record can be
moved, so that,a particular record can be moved with its
record-number.
In order to move your choice of records to be moved to any
other file, try to make use of VSAM-Files, which enables
you to define your own set of records to be moved from one
dataset to other, by using either IDCAMS utility, SKIP AND
COUNT in your JCL, (OR) making your cobol code using the
key-variables set to your fixed number of choice of record-
index between the range of your choice of records.
well, these are the only possibilities to move records from
one file to other file.

Program A (Normal COBBAT) calling a B Program (DB2COBOL, COBBATDB which is using a VSAM file. its a dynamic call. How we will handle VSAM file decleration in our from JCL from where we are running A PGM. And should we have PLAN for A pGM also. if possible can some one post a sample JCL. Thanks for help in advance.
can you please let me know if there is any walkins for COBOL/PLI/DB2/IMS/JCL in pune other than IBM and ITC infotech
Why is it necessary that file needs to be opened in I-O mode for REWRITE?
How to get the last record in vsam file in cluster? And how can you get the kids file records into your cobol program?

Hi pls anybody tell me about " ANALYSIS DOCUMENT PREPARATION AND ESTIMATION OF TASK " (in real time project)."I want to update a sequential file in my project" for that purpose i need both structures i mean analysis document and estimation of task.
if we have " ibm mainframe ",in that how to remove first and last leading space eg:"ibm mainframe" like that the answer we need
I have File 1 occurs 5 times with Employee-ID,Employee-Name,Employee-Dept (EEE and MECH). I have File 2 occurs 10 times with Employee-ID,Employee-Name,Employee-Dept (EEE,CIVIL,CHEMICAL and MECH). In FIle 1 and FIle 2 , for matching Employee-DEPT (Only MECH) , we need to move entire records from file1 to file 2. We should not use 2D array. Your help is needed here.
How to remove the spaces at the end of each record in the output file of variable length, via cobol program?
Write a program that uses move corresponding.
What are various search techniques in cobol? Explain.
