    Re: Level 88 and 66

    Hi,

    Level number 66 is only for renaming the variable.

    66 ACCOUNT-NUM PIC X(09) RENAME ACCT-NUM.

    Level number 88 is a Condition name variable.It's used for condition checking.

    I declared one Condition name variable

    01 EOF PIC x(1).
    88 EOF-Y vALUE 'Y'.
    88 EOF-N VALUE 'N'.


    Below perform statement will stop when the EOF-Y is true.

    PERFORM 300-PROCESS-PARA THRU 300-EXIT
    UNTIL EOF-Y.

    When the file is reaches the Enf of file condition then it move "Y" to EOF.Now EOF-Y is true.

    200-READ-PARA.
    READ CUST-INFILE AT END MOVE 'Y' to EOF.
    200-EXIT-PARA.
    exit.

    I think it will help you.

    Thank's
