Hi All,

I have 05 Records in a file which is sequential. I would like to read it in the reverse order.

Eg.

0000000001
0000000002
0000000003
0000000004
0000000005

and the O/p should be

0000000005
0000000004
0000000003
0000000002
0000000001

Is there any READ with Reverse Option. Pl. post your suggestions.

Regards,
Raaj.

whitout external sort and internal sort statement i propose:
a) open file and read next until eof ,counting records number.(e.g. counter = 100)
b) close file
c) open file readind records until counter = 100
d) close file
e) open file and read until counter - 1
f) close file
g) open file and read until counter -2

and so on ... until counter = 0

do you like this solution?

bye
