Please Read the Grading Criteria |
#3 2/7 | Chapter 4
Discuss a little on program design, do a simple diagrams for
the 3rd lab.
Hierarchy Chart ->

Chapter 5 -> We're going to skip this chapter. It's about program design which by now you should know well.
- If time, go over another interactive program.
Extra -> Class Notes |
Lab 3 -> Design Lab, making hierarchy charts & pseudo code
Screen shot of
my command file SET.COM
That's a zero
in "NLA0"
This script displays the directory, shows who's logged on
then sets the CLS command so I can use it to clear the
screen using "CLS" at any time for this log in session.
You would just open an editor, type this in, save as
something with the .COM extension (SET.COM) then you run it
by putting the '@' symbol in front of it like:
$ @SET.COM |
#4 2/14 | Chapter 6 -> Moving Data, Printing, Displaying Output.
Monday we will start on the screen lab
| Assignment 2 - Number 1 page 297, plus add an option to print a report similar to the one in Figure 7.4 (next page). Your program will ask if the user wants to print a report, create a file or quit. Obviously the report won't be exactly like the one in 7.4 but do print out all the info that is in the out-salary file in a nice, neat and orderly fashion. Data File Due: February 21st
Let's do this lab today after we cover the notes.
Lab 4: Playing with screen features |
#5 2/21 | Today: - Let's continue with the screen features lab
- I'd like to look at your labs so far also

Lab 6
# 9 page 341 - Let's incorporate
lab 5 by using FTP for this exercise and editing in
Notepad. So try using FTP to get the following files
and see if it will work in this directory.
Both starter
files can be copied from the LAB6 directory in our
Spring2011 folder under LAB6.COB and LAB6.DAT.
These have
.txt extensions but hopefully we won't need these.

Other Ch-9 Notes | Continue on last week's lab
Read the notes in the source code and finish the program, this is problem #10 page 382 where you ask the user for a statement and number of times and it prints it x number of times to a file. You can have it print to the screen also.
When done copy your result back to my LAB6 directory: |

Chapter 12 |
Lab 7:
Practice with Validation (mini lab/assignment)
Let's work on #1 page 468 with a few modifications. Make a simple program that validates user entered data according to the chart and requirements listed in a - d. Instead of an error listing let's have it immediately respond to the user that the data is invalid. So it will ask the user one question at a time and immediately tell you if it's valid. See if you can make it so if the user doesn't put in leading zeros to any of the numeric fields that it does so for you. Copy it up to USR1:[DTUCKER.COBOL.SPRING2011.LAB7]
