QSAM File A has 10 records and QSAM File B has 1 record but I want to include File B record after the 5th record of file A as well as already existing 6th record should move to 7th like wise all ...now total 11 records should show in the File A.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh |

Read File B and store the contents in Working-Storage.
Read File A with a record-counter incremented by 1 for each read. Write each record to File C. When you reach record 5, write it to File C, write the stored records from File B to File C, then continue the read-write process until File A reaches its EOF.
Afterward, you can delete or rename File A, then either rename File C or copy File C to a new File A. |

For the above scenario, there are few questions,Is 1 record in file B is going to be the same or will it vary for every run?
If it varies,how you want them to be processed.
Keeping the questions apart,for your scenario ,
You cannot wirte a record intermediate in a sequential file,so you have to create a new file- File C
the solution will be ; Open file A in Input ;file B in Input;Open file C in output;
| Code: |
Read file A;
Increment FileA-Read-Cntr
If FileA-Read-Cntr =5
Read fileB
Write FileB rec to File C
Else
Write FileA rec to File C
End-if |

| muthuvel: what happens to the fifth record in file A using your algorithm? Do you see a difference between what Kevin posted and what you posted? |

Yes. the 5th record from file-A is not written into output file. Maybe try this:
| Code: |
Read file A;
Increment FileA-Read-Cntr
If FileA-Read-Cntr =5
Read fileB
Write FileA rec to File C
Write FileB rec to File C
Else
Write FileA rec to File C
End-if

Read fileB
Write FileA rec to File C
Write FileB rec to File C

Write FileA rec to File C
End-if

wonder why not keep things simpler
| Code: |
Read file A;
Write FileA rec to File C
Increment FileA-Read-Cntr
If FileA-Read-Cntr =5
Read fileB
Write FileB rec to File C
End-if
