Iteration Statement to Use?

• Perform Until– Tests for the condition first– Statements are executed only if the condition is

true

• Perform With Test After– tests for the condition last– Statements are always executed at least once

Iteration Statement to Use?

• Perform X Times– Use this when you know the number of times

the paragraph(s) are to be executed.

Sorting Data

Using Access Paths

Physical Files vs Logical Files

EMPLOYEEPF *FILE

EMPLOYEE *FILE

Physical Files or Logical Files?

Externally Described Files

• Select Statement when physical/logical file has a key.

SELECT Cobol-file-name

ASSIGN TO database-actual-file-name

[ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED]

[ACCESS MODE IS SEQUENTIAL]

RECORD KEY is data-element.

(data-element could be EXTERNaLLY-DESCRIBED-KEY)

Externally Described Files

• Copying the record layout.

FD Cobol-file-name.01 Cobol-Record-Name.COPY DD-actualrecordname OF actualfilename.

(DD can be replaced by DDS if you require the 10 char field names instead of the aliases)

Handy Physical File Commands

DSPPFM – Display Physical File Member

Displays the contents of a Physical File in arrival sequence.

DSPFD – Display File Description

Information about the file – eg access path.

DSPFFD – Display File Field Description

Displays the fields in the file.

Positioning the File Pointer

Start Verb

Start Verb

Used only with Sequentially defined files.
