COBOL

1)The are 2 input files .Given below the format of the input files

File format of the first input file:

Employee no: numeric (7 bytes)

Name : characters (30 bytes)
Dept code : alphanumeric (3 bytes)
Salary : Numeric (9(5) V99)
Designation: characters (10 bytes)

File format of the second input file will be same as first one.

Take around 30 records in both the files. In the second take some records as it is in
1st files and some different records that of 1st file. Write a COBOL program to create
2 output file, one for matched records and other for unmatched records by
comparing both the input files.

2)There is one input file. The file format of the input file is same as assignment no 1.
Take around 30 records in the input file having duplicate records and Write a COBOL
program to compare the records of the input file and create 2 output file, one for
matched records and other for unmatched records.

3)Read the emp-mast-file which is given below and create a pay slip in the following
format.
Format of the emp-mast-file
Emp-code PIC 99999
Emp-name PIC X (20)
Emp-Dept PIC X (3)
Emp-Basic PIC 9(4) V99
Emp-tel-phone-no PIC 9(7)

Calculation:
DA = 40% of Basic
HRA= 50% of Basic up to 9000, 60% for Basic > 9000
PF to be deducted at 12% of Basic + DA
Income Tax at 15% Basic+DA+HRA-PF for above 5000, nil for 5000 and below
Deduction= Basic+DA+HRA-PF-TAX
Net salary should be rounded to next higher 5 rupees.

(a) Finding the marks of a particular student (let us say: NME = 'RAMESH') in a
particular subject (let us say: Subject Name = 'COBOL').

(b) Finding the total marks obtained by a particular student.

(Hint: The name and subject name are to be read from the keyboard in both the
above cases)
