    The document outlines three main points: 1. File handling involves creating, writing to, and reading from data files. Basic file operations include output mode for creating new files, append mode for adding to existing files, and input mode for reading and modifying existing files. 2. Keywords like OPEN, WRITE, PRINT, CLOSE, and INPUT are used to open, write, read from, and close files. The OPEN statement is used to open files in all three modes. 3. Methods for reading/writing data include FOR-NEXT loops for fixed records, GOTO for unlimited

    File Handling in QBASIC

    Chapter-

    1. File Handline:
    ● Process of creating data file.

    ● Write data to the data file and

    ● Read data from the specified data file.


    2. Basic Operations on data file:
    i. OUTPUT MODE:
    a. Creating a new sequential data file and store data or
    records in that sequential data file.
    ii. APPEND MODE:
    a. Adding more data or records in the existing
    sequential data file.
    b. We cannot read or display the data or records that is
    stored in existing data file.
    iii. INPUT MODE:
    Differents operations are performed in this mode i.e
    a. Read data or records form the existing data file.
    b. Delete the specific data or record from the existing
    data file.
    c. Search the particular data or record in the existing
    data file.
    d. Count the data or records that are available inside
    the existing data file.
    e. Copy the data or records from the existing data file
    and paste it to the newly created data file. In this
    case after copy task is performed the old existing
    file is deleted by using kill command and the newly
    created data file is renamed as old existing file
    name by using Name command in the program.
    3. Keywords used in File Handling:
    a. OPEN
    b. CLS
    c. INPUT
    d. PRINT
    e. CLOSE
    f. END
    g. PRINT# / WRITE#
    h. INPUT#
    a. OPEN: [Used in All three modes]
    ● Specially used to open file to perform writing data, reading data
    from the data file etc.
    ● Syntax:
    OPEN “file name” FOR MODE AS # file number
    or
    OPEN MODE #file number, “File name”
    i.e.
    OPEN “O”, #1, “File name”
    Statements Used in Output and Append Modes
    a. WRITE # statement:
    ● used to write data to a sequential data file.

    ● it writes (store) the values stored in the variables in the file


    having file number.
    ● Syntax:
    WRITE #file number, expressionlist
    or
    PRINT #file number, expressionlist
    b. CLOSE statement:
    ● It closes all the files opened in the entire program.

    ● It closes the file having file number.

    ● It can close more than one file at a time.

    ● Syntax:
    CLOSE #file number, #file number, ……..
    c. INPUT Statement:
    ● Used to receive or take data from user in the program.

    Statements used in INPUT Mode:


    a. INPUT # statement:
    ● To read data or records from an existing data file, we use this
    IINPUT # statement.
    ● Syntax:
    INPUT #file number, variable list
    b. PRINT Statement:
    ● Used to display the result or messages in the output console.
    Note: The number of variables and their types must be matching to the fields of
    data stored in the data file.

    4. EOF (check end of file) Function:


    ● Function that Tests for the end of a file.

    ● It returns TRUE if the end of the file has been reached and returns FALSE
    when the end of the file has not been reached.
    ● Syntax: 
    EOF ( file number )

    ● Eg:
    EOF ( 1 )
    5. Methods of Questions:
    1. For…………next Loop:
    ● if the questions tells or says to store fixed number of datas or
    records in the sequential data file, we use this loop.
    2. GOTO……TOP:
    ● IF the questions tells or says to store the records or datas in the
    data file according to the user’s choice or need or more records
    without any fixed number than we use this GOTO…TOP
    statement.
    Note: These above methods are applicable for OUTPUT MODE and APPEND
    MODE only but not for INPUT MODE.

    IN Case of INPUT MODE:


    ● USE EOF() function

    ● WHILE…..WEND Loop.

    ● IF statement
    To read or displays or perform other operations like count, delete, search,
    copy etc the above mentioned points are used in the program.
