Annie,

This seems to be a more of a functional requirement where very few could assist you for the details you provided.

Since the question sounds as a question from a Beginner suggest you to join the forum

Also please do invest time in reading the manuals ..Link at top of this page

its a fundamental thing to learn basic cobol file handling, handling SQLs from any IBM manual. First come up with your own peudo code and veirfy it.

You need to realize that this is a HELP forum, not a WRITE-THE-CODE-FOR-YOU forum. If you ask for code the way you did, be prepared to pay for it (the usual rate is around 1000 US dollars per day or equivalent in other currency). If you don't want to pay for it, then do NOT ask for code.

If you come up with a logical approach, we will help you debug your logic. However, YOU must do the thinking and design the code as your requirements indicate.

Hello,

While you know what you have and what you want to do, we DO Not know this.

To get help, you need to clearly explain at the detail level what you have & want.

Which file is read by a "reference"? How do the 3 tables relate to the reference number file?

If it cannot be clearly explained, it will be nearly impossible to implement. . .

Annie, Welcome to the forum !!

As rightly mentioned by Dick please explain us or provide more clear requirement to what is expected from you, currently it is very general.

Also, if you could just need the code then on this forum if you search you could find many post as to how the code looks like, so please give a try.
