Programming Project #4

For project four, you are to write a program that produces a simple report regarding the production of gizmos for a small company, Widget Inc. In an experiment to improve overall efficiency, the workers at Widget who make gizmos have been divided into production teams. Some teams have been working together for up to six weeks, other teams for as little as one week. The report that your program produces shows some basic statistics about gizmo production and a rating for the teams.

The data for the program is kept in a file. The first data record contains only the number of teams. This is followed by one data record for each team. Each team record has the following data items: team name, followed by the number of weeks the team has worked together, followed by the numbers of gizmos produced by the team for the weeks of working. Below is a set of sample data.

    'STING'        3 470 609 614
    'WIZARDS'      1 484
    'FLASH'        2 349 478
    'WHALERS'      5 199 339 460 457 582
    'MISFITS'      3 421 443 479
    'LAST CHANCE' 2 364 590

From data such as this, your program must produce a report on gizmo production and a listing of the teams by category.

The production report shows the name of each team, the number of weeks the team has worked, the team's average production for that time, and a histogram representing the team's total production (in hundreds of gizmos). The total production is rounded to the nearest hundred to determine the number of asterisks in the histogram.

The listing of the teams by category must show the names of the teams in each category with up to three names on a line. For example, if there were eight names in a category, they would be listed in the following form:

    xxxxxxxxxxxx        xxxxxxxxxxxx        xxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxx        xxxxxxxxxxxx        xxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxx        xxxxxxxxxxxx

There are three categories: SUPERIOR for teams whose average is more than 50 units greater than the overall average; UNSATISFACTORY for teams whose average is more than 50 units less than the overall average; and ADEQUATE for teams whose average is between these two limits.

The actual data for program four is contained in a file called 110DATA4.COMPSCI which your program can read by having the following statement as the first executable statement.

OPEN (105, FILE='110DATA4.COMPSCI')

You must hand in a batch listing of your program with the output. In order to get this batch listing, you must build a file containing IBEX commands. Such a file is called a JCL file and should contain the following commands, with the exclamation point in column 1. Note: these commands assume your FORTRAN program is in a file called PROG-4.

    !JOB SCAN
    !FORTRAN PROG-4(LS,ANS)
    !RUN

Assume that you call your JCL file JCL-4. Then, to get the batch listing and the output, you must give the following command at your terminal.

BATCH JCL-4

While developing your program, you can cause the commands in your JCL file to be executed with the listing and output sent to your terminal. You do this by giving the following command at your terminal.

XEQ JCL-4

Program Requirements

1. All output must done using formatted PRINT statements.

2. Team averages must have 1 fractional digit; the overall average must have 2 fractional digits.

3. The production report must begin at the top of a page.

4. Titles in the output (as in the sample report) must be as shown; however, spacing both horizontally and vertically may vary.

5. Team names listed in the three categories must be listed three across the page (as in the example). Only if there aren't three team names left can the line have fewer than three names.

6. You must use arrays and implied DO loops to perform some of the tasks in this program. Actually, some tasks cannot be performed in any other way.

7. Your program must handle up to 40 teams. However, your program should be written in such a way that the number of teams can easily be changed.

8. The production team names may contain up to twelve characters.

9. No more than 30 asterisks should be printed in the histogram for any team, even if the team's total production is more than 3049 gizmos.

10. Documentation requirements are the usual: identification, program description, and data table. No flowchart is required.
