I have a field in a record called name, which when I get input from a specified data file it's Lastname, First well the problem is not in inputting it, but when I update this record from another file, only the last name is given. So how do I read a character at a time and put only the last name in a temp variable so I can compare the two names so that the rest of the record gets updated. Thanks ,.
