CIS12 Programming Assignment #3 - EDIT Data

This program should be an individual effort. You know enough now to do your own work and not take excessive help from friends and classmates!

This program should take in data from the screen and edit the data.

You must design the screen to take in the data shown in the output record layout. That data is Identification #, Name, Sex, Marital Status, # of Dependents, Employment Code, Salary, Pay per Hour, Withholding Code, Withholding Amount. Note that for a given employee, there will be either a Salary or a Pay per Hour - not both! The screen should be your own design. This is one place where I will notice people who work too closely together, so be sure that you set up your OWN screen layout.
If there are no errors in the data (the data meets the specifications given below) the data from the screen should be written to the file called GOODDATA.DAT. The layout of the GOODDATA.DAT file that you must create is shown below.
If the data contains problems the data from the screen should NOT be written to GOODDATA.DAT. Instead, every error should be written individually to a file called BADDATA.DAT in a format that is suitable to a printed report. Again, you should use your own layout.

You will be keying in the data. You need to key in data that checks all of your tests. In other words, at least one set of data that you key in should cause each of the errors to be listed and a record to be written to BADDATA.DAT. Several sets of data that you key in should result in good records being written to the GOODDATA.DAT file. When I correct, I will be keying in my own data to check so make sure you check everything.

Below I have listed your grading options:

You must check and make sure the Identification # is numeric and present

If you do 4 additional checks from the requirement list below, you can get a C in the program.

If you do 6 additional checks from the requirement list below, you can get a B on this program.

If you do all of the checks you can get an A in this program.

Below I have listed a series of checks that have to be made depending on the grading choice you make!

OUTPUT Record Layout: (GOODDATA.DAT)

Characters	Name of field	Requirements
1 - 5	Identification #	This field must be numeric and present
6 - 25	Name	This field must be present
26	Sex	This field must be M, F or Blank
27	Marital Status	This field must be M, S, W, D or Blank
28-29	# of Dependents	This field must be numeric
30	Employment Code	This field must contain a S, H, T, C
31 - 38	Salary (2 decimal places)	If employment code is an S this field must contain numeric data in the range 20000 to 120000
39 - 43	Pay per Hour (2 decimal places)	If employment code is H or T this field must contain a numeric value between the range of 6 and 10. If employment code is C this field must contain a numeric value between 25 and 150. If employment code is S this field must contain no data or 0 data depending on how you set up the field.
44	Withholding Code	This field must contain T, R, C or blank
45 - 50	Withholding Amount	If withholding code has T, R or C, this field must contain numeric data.

Disk Output (GOODDATA.DAT): Records that have no errors are written to the disk file called GOODDATA.DAT. The record being written should have the layout shown above.

Disk Output (BADDATA.DAT): When an error is found a line should be written to the output disk file called BADDATA.DAT in the format for a print report. If multiple errors are found on a record, multiple records should be written to this file. The line on the file should contain the following information:

Identification # of the record with the error
Data from the field that was in error
A message explaining the error

The BADDATA.DAT file should be ready to go to the printer. Therefore it should contain a page header with the date and page number, a column header and a total line containing the number of records that were valid (contained no errors) and the number of records that contained an error.

The program called SCREDIT2.CBL is the best model to look at when writing this program!

You must pass in the following:

The .cbl version of your program.
Your GOODDATA.DAT file.
Your BADDATA.DAT file.
