I seem to get only a blank output with headings on my coding. The program reads my data file which I have on floppy disk and is supposed to print invalid data items on a printed error report. Valid data is supposed to save back to disk as a validated file to be used in a further program. Could...

Good evening chaps and chapesses, I need to code a program that will read a file from disk called "SALES-FILE.DAT" , the data is already in ascending order of TYPE-CODE and pre-validated and will eventually be sent to the printer.. I am having my usual problem of drawing a structure...
