Cobol!!!!

158 100+
Okay I'm going back in the day on y'all. Here's the dilemma I have to write a COBOL program that uses an input load file (sorted binary) and a hardcoded file (sorted sequentally). I need to be able to read a record from the hardcoded file, or add a record to the input load file. I have no clue on how to do this!
