Mainframe_Dinosaur Profile Answers by Mainframe_Dinosaur. Mainframe programmers wouldn't normally write a Cobol program just to count the number of records in a file.

Called with a parameter, which we will vary from 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 up to 1,000,000, it copies the given number of records into a temporary table (with some exceptions, as it skips records where n is divisible by 100), and then finds a max(s) of such missing records.
