RE: program to read pf in reverse order using cl/400 program

I love Scott's reply. To me, the funny thing about the solution is the image of a possible wannabe plagiarizer trying to explain to his instructor just how the program works.

It could have been any other language calling the C file procedures.
I don't think the OP should submit this solution as his answer to his
homework assignment.

Hi Joel,

I had the impression that the OP wanted this in reverse RRN sequence.
SQL would not be a very efficient way to do that (though, I guess it
could work.) I thought record-level access would be better for this
sort of thing.

If you really want to see my code, it's here:
http://www.scottklement.com/badexamples/reversef.clle.txt

There are probably 100 ways it could be improved, but I don't plan to
actually use it.

Keep in mind that (as I've already said) I don't think this is a good
technique, and I don't really recommend anyone do anything this way.
(I can't say that enough.)

-SK

Hey - someday we may ALL have to take this test to keep our position
