Hi I am sorry about it. I need to write comments to the records only after i know the counter value is greater than 10. The basic problem is i traverse through records to count it.But after counting it, how can I go back and write to those records? I am pasting the algorithm I need to do * If absolute value of X is less than 20 -> Write comments with good * If absolute value of X is 20 or greater o Keep looking until Y is greater than 5 o increment Counter of bad records until 5 is reached o if counter of bad records counted is greater than 10 + Write bad_NOTfixed to comments o If counter of consecutive bad records counted is 10 or less Do another operation ( which I can possibly do)
