Exam 15: Control-Break Processing

Given the following input records,how many lines would be output if a control break program was used to output a group-printed report,containing intermediate lines but not final totals or heading lines? John          20.00 John          30.00 Mary         10.00 Sue            6.00 Sue            8.00 Sue           13.00

Given the following pseudocode: Start FINAL-ACCUM $= 0$ NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ Read NAME, AMT SAVE-NAME = NAME DOWHILE not EOF IF NAME $\neq$ SAVE-NAME THEN Write NAME-ACCUM FINAL-ACCUM = FINAL-ACCUM + NAME-ACCUM SAVE-NAME $=$ NAME (ELSE) ENDIF Write NAME, AMT NAME-ACCUM = NAME-ACCUM + AMT Read NAME, AMT ENDDO Stop If the following records are input,what is the value of NAME-ACCUM after the instructions corresponding to the pseudocode are executed? John     20.00 John     30.00 Mary    10.00 Sue     50.00

A CASE control structure is likely to be used to determine if a control break has occurred.

Given the following pseudocode: Start FINAL-ACCUM $= 0$ NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ Read NAME, AMT SAVE-NAME $=$ NAME DOWHILE not EOF IF NAME $\neq$ SAVE-NAME THEN Write NAME-ACCUM FINAL-ACCUM = FINAL-ACCUM + NAME-ACCUM NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ SAVE-NAME $=$ NAME ELSE Write NAME, AMT NAME-ACCUM $= \mathrm { NAME } - \mathrm { ACCUM } + \mathrm { AMT }$ ENDIF Read NAME, AMT ENDDO Write FINAL-ACCUM Stop How many lines will be output if the following records are input? John     20.00 John     30.00 Mary     10.00 Mary     6.00 Sue       8.00 Sue      5.00

Which of the following statements is a true statement?

A group-printed report never outputs detail lines.

Given the following input records,how many lines would be output if a control break program was used to output a group-printed report,containing intermediate and final total lines but no heading lines? John          20.00 John          30.00 Mary         10.00 Sue            6.00 Sue            8.00 Sue            13.00

The module to process the steps required as a result of a control break is called each time the main processing loop is executed.

In a control-break program,it is possible to output detail lines,intermediate total lines,and final total lines all on one page.

When a control break occurs,an intermediate-total line is always output.

Given the following input records,how many lines would be output if a control break program was used to output a detail-printed report,containing intermediate and final total lines but no heading lines? John          20.00 John          30.00 Mary         10.00 Sue           6.00 Sue           8.00 Sue           13.00

A control break occurs when what type of processing is interrupted when a value in a designated field in the input changes?

A group-indicated report does not output detail lines.

Group-indicated reports generally appear less cluttered and easier to read than detail-printed reports.

Given the following pseudocode: FINAL-ACCUM $= 0$ NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ Read NAME, AMT SAVE-NAME = NAME DOWHILE not EOF IF NAME $\neq$ SAVE-NAME THEN Write NAME-ACCUM FINAL-ACCUM = FINAL-ACCUM + NAME-ACCUM NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ SAVE-NAME = NAME ELSE Write NAME, AMT NAME-ACCUM = NAME-ACCUM + AMT ENDIF Read NAME, AMT ENDDO Which of the following statements is a true statement,assuming there is at least one input record?

What is the name of the entity that determines when a control break is to occur?

Given the following pseudocode: Start FINAL-ACCUM $= 0$ NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ Read NAME, AMT SAVE-NAME $=$ NAME DOWHILE not EOF IF NAME $\neq$ SAVE-NAME THEN Write NAME-ACCUM FINAL-ACCUM $=$ FINAL-ACCUM + NAME-ACCUM NAME-ACCUM $= 0$ SAVE-NAME $=$ NAME (ELSE) ENDIF Write NAME, AMT NAME-ACCUM $=$ NAME-ACCUM + AMT Read NAME, AMT ENDDO Stop If the following records are input,what is the value of NAME-ACCUM after the instructions corresponding to the pseudocode are executed? John     20.00 John     30.00 Mary    10.00 Sue     50.00

The control field is the field that determines when a control break is to occur.

What type of report outputs only intermediate total lines?

Given the following input records,how many lines would be output if a control break program was used to output a group-indicated report,containing intermediate lines but not final totals or heading lines? John          20.00 John          30.00 Mary         10.00 Sue           6.00 Sue           8.00 Sue           13.00
