Abstract

Relative organised files can be accessed sequentially in the same way that sequentially organised files can be accessed. The processing which was performed on the sequentially organised file in Chapter 12 can also be performed on relatively organised files. However, relatively organised files have the advantage that they can also be accessed randomly, that is, a specified numbered record can be accessed in a relative file.
