You have a variable length file and you have four 01 level record formats.
I am guessin gthat the file can contain records of one of those 4 record layouts given by four 01 levels.
See the syntax for your reference.
| Code: |
FD AUTO-OUTPUT-FILE
RECORDING MODE IS V
RECORD IS VARYING IN SIZE FROM 1056 TO 3900 CHARACTERS
DEPENDING ON WORK-LENGTH
BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS
DATA RECORD IS AUTO-RECORD.
01 AUTO-RECORD1.
05 FILLER PIC X(3900).
01 AUTO-RECORD2.
05 FILLER PIC X(1700).
01 AUTO-RECORD.
05 FILLER PIC X(1056). |
and while reading you can use READ auto file into 'any one of those 4 record types' |

| I think you have variable length records in four layouts. In such case generally the first byte will have a record identifier based on which you can process the records. It would be easier to answer your question if you supply the copybook of your file |
