Explaining Example -

In the above example:

• Fixed length KSDS (MATEPK.EMPL.KSDS) file is used as an input file and trying to read all the records sequentially.
• File organization is INDEXED and accessing mode should be SEQUENTIAL.
• File reading starts from the first record and continue till the end of the file.
