ANNOUNCEMENTS
05/23
- Student created Quiz#2
Study Guide!
05/12 - Quiz#2
will be given on Tuesday 5/24. The subject material
covers: IF statements, logical and relational operators,
conditions, implied conditions, condition names (level 88), sign test,
class test, all perform statement variations, and the single control
break algorithm.
04/22 - The
MIDTERM will be given in class on Thursday May 5th. The
entire class time will be used for this exam. What it will cover
will be discussed closer to the actual exam date.
04/14 - LAB DATA
FILE INFO: When you sign up to do an input file for participation
points, you
will need to give me access to the file. In order to do this, you
need to change the permission on the file so that I can read it.
Using chmod and 755 with the filename is appropriate. It is
easier if you put the input file in your home directory so you don't
have to give me access to your folder as well! Let me know when
your input file is done (email me) and I will also need to know your
home direcory path name (home/4/jones) or whatever folder you choose to
put it in.
04/14
- Schedule change!!! My Wednesday meeting has been moved to
Thursday causing a conflict with already scheduled office hours
:o( See schedule link on main webpage for update!
04/14
- Don't forget to put comments in your lab2 program. They should
include the author name (doesn't actually have to be a comment!),
purpose of the program in the identification division, and at least one
comment per paragraph. You do not necessarily need to comment
your environment or data division, however, you may find it
useful. Remember to indent nicely and have good variable names,
too! The flow of your program should be logical and relatively
easy to follow (this will help you down the road also when the programs
get larger!).
04/14
- Quiz#1 will be given on Thursday 4/21 at the beginning of
class. The test will take between 30 and 45 minutes.
Lecture will take place after the quiz. The material covered will
include lab1, lab2 and all slides and handouts covered/given in class
up through Tuesday 4/12. Material starting on Thursday (move
statements, edited I/O, scope terminators, accept time and date, etc.
will NOT be on quiz#1).
04/14 -
Corrections have been made to both lab2 input files as well as the
WRITE, ACCEPT TIME, and ACCEPT DATE slides.
04/11
- I noticed that the "assign" and "due" dates were incorrect on the
Lab2 handouts... they say the month of March instead of April; the day
values are correct. I've updated the month portion of the dates
on the syllabus links for both Lab2 topics (car and football)!
04/08 - Above,
between the FYI practice exams and the participation points,
are the links for the practice problems given out in class. I'm
putting them here instead of on the syllabus!
04/08 - The car buying and
football statistic tracking lab2 handouts were given out on Thursday
4/7 in class. You are to choose ONE project for the entire
quarter i.e. either the car buying project or the football
project. It will NOT be in your best interest to change subject
material anytime during the quarter!
04/05 - If you ever have a problem with your cse account or
questions about
it, you can email help@cse.ohio-state.edu for more information.
04/05 - I've
emailed help@cse.ohio-state.edu to ask if the compile command can be
used within emacs. I'll let you know when I get a response.
Normally, I open two windows by using the % emacs filename & command
in order to compile/run in one window and update the source file in the
other window.
04/05 - Lab2 will be given
in class on Thursday 4/7 along with additional participation points.
04/05 - For
lab1in.dat, be careful of the column number. At the bottom of the
emacs file, the column number will sometimes start with column 0
(instead of 1) and that could throw off the storing of your data into
the FD declarations. If this is the case, then the number of
hours worked value should actually start in column 20 since columns
0-19 are the first 20 positions in the record.
04/05 - It has
come to my attention that the copier didn't work very well on printing
some portions of the lab1.cob program. If you are having
problems, check the on-line version of the program. The one
glaring problem is in the procedure division in the 100-main-module
paragraph on the 6th statement:
perform 200-wage-routine
until are-there-more-records = "no".
where the = sign may look like a dash!
03/31 - Don't forget to
think about a subject or two that you would like to
suggest for the lab project. We will talk more about this on
Tuesday and choose 2 of the most popular topics for this quarter's labs!
03/31 - Since I
changed what used to be called "pre-lab" to Lab1, I may have
missed updating some of the "pre-lab" references in the Lab1
handout. If this is the case, please let me know, and be sure to
assume I mean Lab1 not "pre-lab". However, I did put the variable
"prelab" for the program-id paragraph in the identification
division. I decided not to change this as it also changes some of
the HW questions!
03/31 - I forgot
to mention that I will be on vacation Friday 4/1, so
will not be in my office for office hours!
03/31 - If you are
working on your lab1 this weekend... you will see what are
called "control characters" in your output file if you are looking at
the emacs file. These are the funky ^M characters at the end of
each line. They are directions for the printer! That is,
the ^M tells the printer to advance to the next line. You will
see other control characters in the emacs view of your output file
throughout the quarter.
03/31 - Although
you will see that there are consultants in the lab, I checked with the
facility that hires the consultants and at this time, there isn't any
consultant with a COBOL background :o(
03/31 - Important
announcements in class:
- your default password for your UNIX account is the last
4 numbers of your SSN plus the first letter of your first name and the
first letter of your last name
- UNIX is case sensitive
- be sure to subscribe to the COBOL compiler in order to
complete your first lab (see page 9 of the unix tutorial)
- Lab 1 is due Thursday 4/7 by midnight
- When you submit a lab, an email confirmation is sent to
your CSE email. This email address is your
accountname@cse.ohio-state.edu. You can use these emails to
verify that you have correctly submitted your lab material.
03/31
- Syllabus update... I've changed the first lab from a participation
point pre-lab to a 20 point lab1. I'm not exactly sure what all
the point designations will be for each lab, but the % of all the labs
toward your final grade won't change i.e. will still remain 30%.
03/31 - The final exam is
university scheduled on Tues, June 7th from 11:30-1:18pm in DL305.
03/31
– COURSE BOOK:
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - COBOL for the 21st Century, 10th ed. by Stern,
Stern & Ley
03/31
- This class
will take a significant amount of your time. Please be aware that
spending an average of 9 hours a week outside of class on your labs and
exams
is normal for this course (and that's just the average!).
