I need to take some data from a table for example:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
on table save as ...
END

For each country then i need to get data from a table. I need to write a query for each table.
So how do i store Country as an &field.
How do i read the saved file and navigate record by record?

I AM DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
-* File readfile.fex
FILEDEF PASS DISK C:
-RUN

TABLE FILE EMPDATA
PRINT
DIV
ON TABLE SAVE AS PASS
END
-RUN
-TYPE &LINES

-REPEAT LAB1 &LINES TIMES
-TYPE INSIDE
-READ PASS &DIV.A4.
-RUN
-TYPE &DIV
-LAB1
-TYPE OUTSIDE

but for the number of records i get only the first DIV printed . so bsically CORP gets printed 41 times...how do i move to the next record in the file?

You should be using BY not PRINT, e.g. if EMPDATA is

DIV

AAA ...
AAA ...
BBB ...
BBB ...
CCC ...
CCC ...

you'll get six records output via PRINT and DIV will repeat as above, use BY and you'll get

AAA ...
BBB ...
CCC ...

Remove the -RUN and try again. Normally -RUN closes files...

HERE is an easier way

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE SAVE AS TMP1 FORMAT ALPHA
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR MODEL RETAIL_COST
WHERE COUNTRY IN FILE TMP1
END
