Hi,

I am having one problem while reading the file.

How the following file will be read..

00001290DAILY
*********************************
*------**-----**--------*NORMALLY BLANK
| | |OVERRIDE DATE FOR DAILY RUN(COL 16-25)
| | |E.G. '2002-01-31' (DEFAULT IS SYSTEM DATE)
| |
| |RUN TYPE = 'DAILY ' OR 'REFRESH' (COL 9-15)
|
RUN NUMBER (COL 1-8) AUTOMATICALLY INCREMENTED

I am using first row and date only. What about rest information. will it also be read?

thanks,

sandy

hi sandy,

it depends how you read the file. i assume your file name as INFILE. If you've coded this way...

READ INFILE INTO WS-INFILE-REC(1:10)

then only 10 bytes of INFILE will be available. Else you'll have entire record read.

suggestions or corrections welcomed...

Perform the read 2 times but not untill eof
