Abstract
This chapter discusses the concept of a formatted text file and presents the syntax of the OPEN, READ, WRITE, and CLOSE statements required to access and create such files. The important scenario in which a READ statement appears in a conditional loop structure to control the reading of a data file of unknown length is discussed in detail. The syntax for writing formatted files is described. Internal files are presented as a way to store records in a temporary buffer for processing.
