I can see a continuous pattern in the data you provided

So my guess why don't you generate the ids right away without reading from the first file ?

Something like this might work???

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $StartID = '';
my $GenCODE = 'ZZZ';
while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    my ( $C , $ID , $NO ) = split /\s+/;
    if ( $ID ne $StartID ) {
        $StartID = $ID;
        $GenCODE++;
    }
    print "$C $GenCODE $NO\n";
}
