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
