What is an Index
sequential file in COBOL? Suggest applications where indexed
sequential file will be of good use. Create an index
sequential file from the following input records (Write the
Program. Make suitable assumptions, if needed)

File Name : Books-details
Organisation : Sequential
File
Format:

Issued, Gone for Binding, On Library Loan, Lost etc. in code of 2
digits)

of total copies of all the books in the Library
(ii) The
display of status of various books on searching through name or
author
Write the program for generation of above
reports. |

array). The program should also be able to search a given
value in the
vector. | |
