Hi,
In my files header and trailer is there but it does not have a control number to the header.

Header contains only header date and time

eg

HH2012-03-0121:00

I have to add a control number to the header

Could you tell me the Logic how to add a control number to the header

If a file has a header & trailer

Add a batch control number in the header that will be incremented in each execution

If the file uses the daily/month-to-date control file

(a) Add control number to the file

Else

(b) Create a control number file

Else (c)

Create header record with a control number that will be incremented in each execution

Create trailer record with a record count

Create a control number file.


Thanks

Badri

badri5,

This is basic coding exercise. Assuming COBOL is the language being used.

1. Read the file in I-O Mode for 1 header record.
2. Add 1 to the counter
3. write the header record.

It is as simple as that.

Alternatively you can change the program which creates the file to write the counter too.
