Hi All,
I need one cobol logic where as two members cannot have money defined for them like :
1)mem1 10,000
2)mem2 5,0000

so mem1 can have amount defined and then mem2 could be having % defined(not amount again).Thanks in advance......

This is there in your original post.

How will you relate mem1 and mem2?
How many records are you expecting in the IP file? If more than 2 records (say mem3, mem4 ...... are also available in the file), how the comparision should be done? So need more sample data along with the expected OP.

And what sort of calculation would you use to determine the percentage?
As a software developer, you should be able to write complete and accurate specs.....Without them how can you expect anybody to develop the logic required?

What exactly you are trying to achieve? Does your program creates OP from IP file or creates OP file directly (say by reading values from the user)?

Just wanted to know, is this for learning purpose or genuine business requirement?

As William said - you need to provide full info.

Hello,

From your last post

It is not confusing because of "obj orien cobol". It is confusing because you have not described your requirement.

If you will post what you have in some detail (not just sketchy) and post what you want as output, we will be able to offer suggestions.

provides nothing in the way of a requirements definition.
