Hi All,
We have file containing n*Records without any Line seperator.
This implies complete file will be in one line: Now, How do we read
this one line (nRecords with no seperator) in Cobol?

No. of Records in the file can vary from 2000-15000 and each record is
of size 60 bytes.

Would it be possible to read a file for X bytes without knowing the
complete length?

Can someone help me please !
