Hi,

in a programing language like Pascal or COBOL you have a logical
structure called file.
When you get access to this structure you either write or read a logical
structure
called record to or from a file.

Both the file and the record are declared as variables in the program,
variables with the structure of the record.

It doesn't matter how many bytes this written or read record has,
you only get access to the file by the declared logical record.

My Question, is there a similar way to handle files in JAVA?
Is there a possibility to to position on a certain record, something
like a record-pointer?

If yes, how can I do it? Who con show me a example program in JAVA?

Second question, if there is an existing structured file created with a
PASCAL- or COBOL-Program (e.g. a simple sequential file), how can i get
access to such a file?

I would be glad, if someone could help me
