I used Cobol code from this site to dynamically open, read, and close files that have the same record size. It works fine.
Now I would like to use the same program to dynamically open, read, and close files that are fixed but have different record sizes.

I think there was a long topic that discussed this issue back and forth with the ultimate conclusion being that no, it's not possible to dynamically read fixed-length files of various lengths with a single COBOL FD statement.
I'll see if I can find it ...
I think this is it:

I am sorry.
Yes, the question I am asking - is it possible to write one Cobol program that will read any fixed length file with any record size ? |
