Wouldn't I need a few loops to handle the prior years and also reset a

I'm not sure... why don't you post the code you've developed that shows
this approach and maybe it will be clearer?

I have a program that I wrote that creates a work file to read from to
create a print record. The program is a sales report that allows the
user to specify how many years to compare. An example is 07-01-06 thru
07-31-06 If they answer 3 prior years it would show sales data (it also
handles exact day instead of just 070106, 071005, 070104)

20050702

When I read the Work file I need to read 2 recs before writing the
print record to calculate the percentage change in amount.

That's usually accomplished by coding two READ statements.
