If iam trying to populate an Array with some data, it is giving ABENDU4038.

The Array - element (record) size is 70 and the Array Size is 99,999. It is Abending after populating some 10,074 elements (records).

So to resolve this problem, how can i populate the same data into more than one Array. Even if i populate how can i retrieve data from Multiple Arrays inorder to perform some matching (comparision).

Hello,

First, make sure the input is in sequence by whatever you are going to later search by.

In addition to the multiple arrays, create one "master" array where you store the lowest and highest value of each of the other arrays.

When you need to search, first determine which of the multiple arrays contains the value you are working with and then search that array.

Hello,

You have to write code to read the external file and move the value read into a place in the "current" array. You'll read records up to the "limit" for the current array and then continue with the "next" array.
