Hi,

I need to replicate a line (for ex) in a input file make some changes to second line and write both the lines to output file.

Input file
xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyy zzzzzzzz

Output File:
xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyy zzzzzzzz
xxxxxxxx yyyyyy12 zzzzzz34

That is the first row has the same value and the second row with a different one.

Read file into IN-REC.
MOVE IN-REC TO OUT-REC.
WRITE OUT-REC.
MOVE ?12? TO INREC(16:2)
MOVE ?34? TO INREC(X:Y)
WRITE OUT-REC.

My question is :

When we write OUT-REC ONCE will the value be lost again do we need to move the value from IN_REC?

Hi SSR,

Value wont lost. Again u have to initialize it to move different record in it .

Hi..,

yes.., Guptae is correct..., value wont lost unless you moved other value to out-rec or initialize that out-rec

Thanks

Hi !

By reading both files in a matching-record-key function, you have always
three conditions to handel.

File-1-Key = File-2-Key ...do something then read both files
File-1-Key > File-2-Key ...read file-2 compare again
File-1-Key < File-2-Key ...read file-1 compare again

if the output file is double buffered or blocked, the data is gone.
