Direct File Management

Direct File Management

[Scott Barrish]

All ADA Professionals:

I am writing an inventory program using direct files.  I am storing
a record for each transaction of the day in a direct file, temp.dat.
 Then I need to sort and condense this temp.dat file into 1,2..nth
part number order and only have one occurrence of the part number in
the direct file, trans.dat.

I am have extreme difficulty with setting the pointer to where I
need it in my logic.  The logic that I have works, but how I manage
the pointers in the direct file, temp.dat, to compare two records is
where I am having the problem.

If you would like to see my source code, please e-mail me at: 
TKEFUFU@worldnet.att.net and sbarrish@esu.edu .

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Scott Barrish
