PROCEDURE DIVISION statements for the indexed files:

All the statements which are available for a relative file are also available for an indexed file.

READ STTATEMENT :

When either the RANDOM or DYNAMIC access mode is specified or the records are to be read in a random manner, the syntax is as shown below:

READ  file-name RECORD  [  INTO  IDENTIFIER  ]

           [  ; KEY   IS data-name ]

           [  ; INVALID  KEY  imperative-statement  ]

The data name in the KEY IS phrase should be either the prime key or the alternative key item. If the phrase is not specified, then the prime key is supposed. Let consider PERSONNEL be an indexed file and let EMP-NO be the prime key and NAME be the alternative key.
