Hi Gowtham,

Check the end of file condition after every read.

hi gowtham,

End of file will be determined by the file status variable that u declare in the select clause

for EOF the value would be 10 means record not found......

thanks

Hi,
It will check the EOF status after each successful read. If not reach then it will continue otherwise it will stops reading the file.

As there is only one record it will read the particular record and return back. correct me if i am wrong.

Hi,
After successful read of the only one record and in next read the at end clause becomes true.
