I am not clear with the output...
Here is my doubt on this...

The input file has a occurs clause on the quantity and the price, But the output report doesnt contain the 5 occurs of the input...

The output report must be like...
Cust ID Name Invoice No item q1 q2 a3 a4 a5 p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 total

If there is no occurs, the below solution might work...

Using DSNTIAUL download the cust table and price table to a dataset...
Use the splice operator of the sort to merge the records of the input file to the cust table and price table datasets to get the desired output...

Before using splice operator move the cust id and item fields appropriately to match the columns in the input file...

Hope this helps...

On the other hand you could take this file to the cobol program. Move it to a temporary table. Join with the cust table and price table to get the desired output...
