Hi Group,
I have created a flat file (file with just record length) Now i would like to pass data into it through a COBOL/400 pgm. 
How to define that flat file in cobol/400 and write data into it?
Regards,
MVRK

    I don't quite understand the problem. (Assuming that you mean a 'program described' file...) You work with a "flat file" in COBOL like any SEQUENTIAL disk file. What problem are you having? What coding have you tried? Tom

    Records and fields for a program-described file are described by coding record descriptions in the File Section of the COBOL program instead of using the Format 2 COPY statement.
    The file must exist on the system before the program can run, except when you use dynamic file creation, by specifying GENOPT(*CRTF) on the CRTCBLPGM command. Please elaborate your problem so that we could find the core of issue you face. Share sample code please
