AA: 
INPUT “Enter Name, Class and Roll No. “; Nm$, Cl, Rn 
INPUT #2, Nm$, Cl, Rn 
INPUT “More records “; Y$ 
IF UCASE$(Y$) = “Y” THEN 
GOTO aa
CLOSE “Record.dat” 
END

7. Study the following program and answer the given questions: [2]

OPEN “Detail.dat” FOR INPUT AS #1 
OPEN “Temp.dat” FOR OUTPUT AS #2 
INPUT “Enter name of the students “; Sn$ 
FOR I = 1 TO 10 
INPUT #1, Nm$, Cl, A 
IF Sn$ < > Nm$ THEN 
WRITE #2, Nm$, Cl, A
END IF 
NEXT I 
CLOSE #1, #2 
KILL “Detail.dat” 
NAME “Temp.dat” AS “Detail.dat” 
END
