Hi friends,
Can anyone help me on correcting the below code.
will not be executed.
The program statement is mentioned below:
READ INP-FILE INTO INP-REC0
AT END MOVE 1 TO W1-IN-FILE-STATUS
END-READ.
The error message is below:
The "NEXT" phrase was not specified on a "READ" statement with
the "AT END" phrase for a file with "ACCESS MODE DYNAMIC". The "AT END" phrase
I tried giving various formats of NEXT statements along with READ. But the error is not resolved.
Can anyone guide me on what is the correct format.

And what does the COBOL Language Reference manual (link at the top of the page) say? I'm not sure why
| Code: |
| READ <file name> NEXT |
is quite so hard to get right, though. |

Glad to hear it's working.
Manual searches for syntax are probably a lot quicker than posting and waiting for replies. |

| Scope terminators (END-READ) have been around since COBOL II. |
