hi all ,

i have doubt regarding reading the file sequentially,

I have a file like this ,

state zip city rating

aa 12345 city1
bb 22222
cc 33333 city.
dd 44444
..
..

first read the file according with the keys state, zip and city

assume tha we did using using startbr and readnext

here i have to check whether record found or not.

if record found do some logic let say logic1.

if record not found i have to once again read same file with keys state and zip only not city.
if record found in this read without city i have to do the same logic i.e logic1.

My question is how to read the whole file to get appropriate rating ?

do any one having good method please share with me

rakshith, can you please explain your logic.

According to your posting, for both keys you are doing LOGIC1. So why don't you just do with state+zip only???

Explain your question more with some examples. You has given the INPUT. Now how shall the Output be?? Is there any grouping for ratings has to done???
