Semester Project - P7: Mini-Information System Implementation

Goal: To apply the concepts and skills we're learning in class to a larger case.

Due Date: See Syllabus

What to Do:

Implement the mini-information system for your semester project company that you designed in homework P6.

Notes

• Each feature in the system should open and close all the files it uses.
• Be sure to check for any possible error conditions.
• Please check the course Web site for notes on creating indexed files.
• For reports that use data from two data files, you will need to open both files and have two read statements, one for each file.
• If you could not get something working leave it there (as long as it complies and mention that it does not work.  EFFORT COUNTS!

What to Turn In, note everything should be in one word document:

(1) Title page with your group number and list of all members names.

(2) P6 Checklist.

(3) A listing of all your program code.

(4) A printout of all data files (using the COBOL file utility). Clearly mark which data file each printout is.

(5) A printout of all reports. (Since these are sequential files, you can print them from a text editor.)

(6) The following Documentation Package separate from your program code, but still in the same word document. Each part must be typed or pasted (screen shots, COBOL code).

1. a list of the names of your data files.
2. For each feature, you should have a section that has:
   1. a description of the feature
   2. which procedure(s) in your program generates this feature
   3. which data file(s) the feature uses
   4. whether any part of it should count as extra credit, with a full explanation why
   5. A screen shot that show the feature running
3. a CD with your code and reports and program listings - see group CD below.

Make sure I know it is you and all of your work:

• Type your name(s) on EACH page, use the header/ footer feature of word.
• STAPLE all pages together. Thanks!

GROUP CD:

A CD must be submitted for each group  that contains the following;

• A copy of all Semester Project submissions (P1 - P7)
• The .cob files for each part.
• A file containing the screen shots required for each part to prove that that part ran.
• The corresponding checklists described in P6
• A Sub Directory for each Group Member (using the Member's name as the Directory name without spaces) that contains each homework assignment for that member.

The CD should be organized with a directory with the group # that has all group work in it and then group member sub-directories below the group directory.

Remember that if the CD is not turned in when due the groups project will be graded with as a zero.  Also if a groups members work is not submitted, that member will receive an Incomplete.  See Syllabus for more information.

Project Presentation 

Groups will present their projects to the class. You will give a demo of your program and it's features..
