Two problems here, right? 1. How can a COBOL program handle an input file with a variety of fixed (?) record lengths.
2. How can a COBOL program encrypt a field? Answers: 1. I'm not much of a COBOL guy but I am going to guess you need three different FD's and a PARM= that tells it which one to use. 2. A major topic of its own. Ron, any idea what sort of API or package you intend to use to do this? IBM? Third-party? Have you thought about password management? Public key? Private key? Would perhaps just masking the number -- making it unreadable to the average guy or gal -- be sufficient? Is there an API to encrypt a field with crypto services?

Once the file cam i have to use the file and encrypt the customer number that is there. Please let me know how in a single cobol program we can acheive the same?
