Processing Files and Records
6.4 Reading Files
Sequential processing need not begin at the first record of an indexed file. The
START statement specifies the next record to be read sequentially, selects which
key to use to determine the logical sort order, and repositions the file position
indicator for subsequent I/O operations anywhere within the file.
A sequential read of a dynamic file is indicated by the NEXT phrase of the READ
statement. A READ NEXT statement should follow the START statement since
the READ NEXT statement reads the next record indicated by the file position
indicator. Subsequent READ NEXT statements sequentially retrieve records until
another START statement or random READ statement executes.
Example 6–34 processes an indexed file containing 26 records. Each record has
a unique letter of the alphabet as its primary key. The program positions the file
to the first record whose INPUT-RECORD-KEY is equal to the specified letter of
the alphabet. The program’s READ NEXT statement sequentially retrieves the
remaining valid records in the file for display on the terminal.
