Exam 1
Friday, Sept. 26
Review

Disclaimer:  I have attempted to be comprehensive in the 
	following, but important items may have been 
	omitted by mistake.  If you see such an omission,
	please let me know, but you are responsible for
	all of the lecture material to date (not including
	the material on the COBOL report writer).

Reading:  The exam will cover chapters 1 - 7 of the textbook

1.	Be able to name and describe the required divisions,
	sections, and paragraphs of a COBOL program.  Be
	able to discuss the history we have discussed so
	far, and the motivations for the various features 
	of COBOL.

2.	Be able to write a short, complete, COBOL program.  This
	may be a short report, perhaps with simple headers and
	footers.

3.	Be able to write a record description for a record.

4.	Be able to use the COMPUTE, ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY
	and DIVIDE statements to do calculations.

5.	Be able to write edited PICTURE clauses, and to say
	what data moves using edited PICTURE clauses would
	result in (by describing what would be printed).

6.	Be able to write programs using the basic control
	structures discussed so far, and to describe how
	these control structures behave (as, perhaps, by
	saying what would result by a given piece of code).
