      • B. Pseudo code
      • C. Jackson Structured Programming method

      Reveal Solution  Discussion  0

      Correct Answer: D  🗳️

      Question #2

      Prerequisite:
      A sorted input dataset with record length 100 contains at least one record for all the values '1', '2', '3' in
      the first byte. The applied sort criteria is 1,100,ch,a.
      Requirements:
      1 .) All records with '1' in the first byte must be ignored.
      2 .) All records with '2' in the first byte must be written to the output dataset.
      3 .) If there is a '3' in the first byte, the program must not read more records.
      4 .) The program must not abend or loop infinitely.
      If the following code does not fulfill the requirements above, which would be the reason, if any?
      DCL DDIN FILE RECORD INPUT;
      DCL DDOUT FILE RECORD OUTPUT;
      DCL 1 INSTRUC,
      3 A CHAR(1),
      3 * CHAR(99);
      DCL EOF_IN BIT(1) INIT('0'B);
      DCL (Z1,Z2,Z3,ZO) BIN FIXED(31) INIT(0);
      ON ENDFILE(DDIN) EOF IN = '1'B;
      READ FILE(DDIN) INTO (INSTRUC);
      IF EOF_IN THEN LEAVE;
      SELECT(INSTRUC .A);
      WHEN('1') DO;
      Z1 += Z1;
      ITERATE LAB;
      END;
      WHEN('3') DO;
      Z3 = Z3 + 1;
      LEAVE;
      END;
      WHEN('2') DO;
      Z2 = Z2 + 1;
      WRITE FILE(DDOUT) FROM(INSTRUC);
      END;
      OTHER DO;
      ZO = ZO + 1;
      PUT SKIP LIST(INSTRUC.A);
      END; END;/*SELECT*/
      END;/*LOOP*/

      • A. The code does not fulfill the requirement, because not all records with '2' in the first byte will be written
        to the output dataset.
      • B. The code fulfills the requirement.
      • C. The code does not fulfill the requirement, because the program will loop infinitely.
      • D. The code does not fulfill the requirement, because the READ iteration will not be left when the first
        record with '3' in the first byte appears.

      ALLOC A;
      A = 1;
      ALLOC A;
      A = 2;
      P = ADDR(A);
      ALLOC A;
      A = 3;
      P = ADDR(A);
      ALLOC A;
      A = 4;
      FREE A;
      FREE A;
      PUT DATA(X);
