The program can add records to the file until it reaches the physical limitations
of its storage device. When this occurs, you should follow these steps:
1. Delete unnecessary records.
2. Back up the file.
3. Recreate the file either by using the OpenVMS Alpha CONVERT Utility to
optimize file space, or by using a Compaq COBOL program.
Statements for Indexed File Processing
Processing an indexed file involves the following:
1. Opening the file
2. Processing the file with valid I/O statements
3. Closing the file
