000097 TRAILER TRA005002006110213223089 000000095000000 95 is the record counter.

Header, trailer and records with TRANOUT should be copied directly, records with TRADETAX should be bypassed.
At last, calcute the record count again, write the count(<95) into trailer.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, I do not want records with TRADETAX appear in the output file.
Header and trailer records are to be counted with detail records.
