    This document describes a process for sequentially updating records in a master file based on transaction records. It reads records from the transaction and master files, comparing their keys. If the keys match, it applies the transaction to update the master record. If the keys don't match, it either writes the master record to a new file or marks the transaction as invalid, then continues reading the next records. It also describes how to delete a master record when the transaction type is delete.
