RE: Record Number

Jim, 
        I tried to verify my guess on this subject but I do not have the
needed reference book. I believe that you want to use an INFDS(file
information data structure). From what I gather, it is used during error
checking to determine what RRN the error occurred on. My guess is that you
should be able to use the same type of data structure for your need. I hope
this helps point you in the right direction.

Subject: Record Number


I am searching through a file for some strings, and I need to find out
what the record numbers are.  I am opening the file Input, Full Procedural,
externally described, and as I understand it, this uses sequential
processing,
that is, record numbers.

Once I find my string, how do I find out what record number I am actually
on?  Until I find out I am going to just increment a counter and hope it's
right, but as we all know, deleted records mess this up.

Thanks.

Regards,

Jim Langston
