Hi Christy,

You've got a lot more work to do before anyone can help you. You may want to look at 2 FAQs in this forum that may get you started.

1) How do I update a master file from a transaction file?
2) Coding control breaks.

Once you've looked them over, try to code your solution. When you get stuck or have a ques., post it along w/the code you have so far. This may well turn out to be an iterative process, but you'll learn a lot more that way.

Regards, Jack.

Christy,

could you please write actual sentences? I know Jack is a regular abbrev buff, but english is not my native language and i could do with a little more then the telegram in your original post...

Regards,
Ronald.

Please write some pseudo-code to let us know exactly what you want the program to do. Analyze the processing carefully and let us know what you want to do. What sort of file, your imput, your output? Is this batch or online?

We help with homework, we don't do it for you.

Show us what you have done, so far. What compiler are you using?
