I'll admit I made a few assumptions based on what I could glean from the OP:
* names will vary in length in a questionnaire or poll (which this
appears to be)
* answers will always be represented by a single digit
* area code (at least in US)

Hi John,
Can someone please let me know how to read a file one record at a time (just
say fixed block for now - see small example below) and assign columns to
fields. Then reference the field names with if-then-else logic.
Sample Fixed Block File:
John98762
John82634
John11234
Thank you.
