I have used SORT clause in Cobol to sort an sequential input file.
Can I read that soted temporary file sequentially? |

debasis,
Try writing us the pseudo code of what you're trying to accomplish, including the SORT verb,any loops, and the logic before the seq write. |

Hello,
If you want help, post the requested info. . .
You believe you have posted proper info to get help. You have not. What you have posted is incomplete, confusing, or both.

Why is this file considered tenporary? COBOL doesn't do "temporary files" - that is a jcl function. I don not recall a "temporary" specification in a SELECT or an FD. . .
Also, any file a COBOL program creates, it can read (unless there is some new feature i'm unaware of). . . |
