neeja,

Code:

1. Open the file
2. Read the file
3. Check for EOF condition.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

mrar_160,
What Kolusu has provided is good enough for a beginner to start working on. However, I am adding this. Thanks

SET NOT-END-OF-FILE TO TRUE.
OPEN INPUT INPUT-FILE.

READ INPUT-FILE
AT END
SET END-OF-FILE TO TRUE
NOT AT END
Continue Processing
END-READ.
