Interactive C program : To create and update records

Here is an interactive C program written by me to create and update records in a txt file

/* program to create a text file   and update records  */

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include <dirent.h>
int main(void)

    char name[30];
    int age=0, SrNo=0,SrNo2=0,count_lines=0;
    char  qualification[20];
    char action,en,ch,c;

    A: printf("Type 'N' to create a new file and enter records\n");
    printf("Type 'U' to read/update/modify records in an existing file\n");
    scanf("%s",&action);
    if(action=='N')
    { //start of option if
        printf("Enter file name with .txt extension to create :");
        scanf("%s",fName);

        /*creating (open) a file, in “w”: write mode*/
        fp=fopen(fName,"w");
        /*check file created or not*/
        if(fp==NULL)
        {
        printf("File does not created!!!");
        exit(0); /*exit from program*/
        }

        //printf("\nFile created successfully.\n");
        printf("Start entering students records\n");
    // printf("Finally type e to exit or any other character to continue adding more records\n");
        while(en !='e')
        {

            printf("\nEnter (space separated) student's name, age and qualification \n");

            scanf("%s", name);
            SrNo++;
            fprintf(fp, "Roll No.%d  Name  :%s\t",SrNo, name);

                {
                    int length = strlen(pp->d_name);
                    if (strncmp(pp->d_name + length - 4, ".txt", 4) == 0)
                     {
                        puts (pp->d_name);
                     }
                }

                (void) closedir (p);
            }

            printf("\n1] Enter filename to read, from the above list of files\n");
            printf("2] Enter filename to add new records, from the above list of files\n");
