CSCI3180 – Principles of Programming Languages – Spring 2019
Assignment 1 — Human Resources Management System in FORTRAN and COBOL
Deadline: Feb 03, 2019 (Sunday) 23:59
1 Introduction
In this assignment, you have to implement a system for processing employee attendance records.
You are required to implement it once using FORTRAN and once using COBOL.
2 Assignment Details
2.1 Company Attendance Record Processing
Jimmy is designing a simple Human Resources Management System (the “System” hereafter) for
the PPL corporation. He is asking you to implement the attendance tracking module of this system,
which reads the employees’ daily attendance records, updates the monthly attendance records, and
generates a daily attendance summary for the human resources manager.
The PPL corporation’s employees have to work from 10:00am to 5:00pm. Employees have to tap
their smart staff card at the attendance reader when they arrive at work and depart after work
respectively. They will be fined for being late for each 15-minute period in whole. For example,
an employee will be fined for being 15 minutes late if he or she comes at 10:27am. On the other
hand, the PPL corporation provides overtime work compensation. Every month, employees can
claim at most 30 overtime working hours with proven attendance records. Only complete hours
of overtime work are counted. For example, if an employee leaves work at 6:47pm, he or she can
claim one hour of overtime work for that day.
The System keeps the employee data in a file: employees.txt. This file contains personal information
of all employees. Each line of the file is an employee record, containing the staff number,
name, gender, date of birth, hiring date, department and monthly salary of the employee. Also,
the System keeps an employee monthly attendance summary: monthly-attendance.txt. This
file contains the monthly attendance status of all employees. The first line of this file contains the
month information. In the rest of the file, each line contains the staff number, number of days
absent, number of complete 15-minute periods being late, and the number of complete overtime
work hours of an employee. Both files are sorted by the staff number in increasing order. The
following is an example of the employees.txt and monthly-attendance.txt files.

At every midnight, the System will generate one file: attendance.txt. This file contains all
employee arrival/departure information recorded by the attendance reader on the previous day.
The first line of the file is the date information. If it is the first day of the month, we need to
reset the monthly attendance summary for all employees and also change the month information
on the first line of the file monthly-attendance.txt. The rest of the file contains one tapping
record per line, which includes the staff number, status and tapping time of an employee. There
are two possible statuses: ARRIVE and LEAVE. Records with ARRIVE statuses show the time of
arrival for the corresponding employee. Records with LEAVE statuses show the time of departure.
The attendance reader will mark all records before 5:00pm as ARRIVE and all records at or after
5:00pm as LEAVE. Records in this file will be sorted by the tapping time in chronological order.
Every employee should have one ARRIVE and one LEAVE record each day. If there is more than
one ARRIVE record for the same employee, we handle only the first ARRIVE record. Similarly,
if there is more than one LEAVE record for the same employee, we handle only the first LEAVE
record. If an employee has either the ARRIVE or LEAVE records (but not both) missing, we
should report the employee’s name to the human resources manager with the SUSPICIOUS status
and should not update the monthly attendance summary for that employee. If an employee has
no attendance records in a particular day, the employee is considered absent.
The following is an example of the attendance.txt file:
2019-01-04
1077ARRIVE2019-01-04-09:54
1823ARRIVE2019-01-04-09:55
1009ARRIVE2019-01-04-10:43
1077LEAVE 2019-01-04-18:45
1009LEAVE 2019-01-04-19:23
From the above example, we can see only staff 1009 was late for work, and would be penalized
for being late for two counts of complete 15-minute periods. We report staff 1009 to the human
resources manager with the LATE status. Also, we can see staff 1077 and 1009 worked overtime.
They would be rewarded with one and two overtime working hours respectively. Moreover, we
can see staff 1823 had only one ARRIVE record, we should report to the manager with the
SUSPICIOUS status and not update the monthly attendance summary for staff 1823.
The System will also generate a daily summary for the human resources manager: summary.txt.
The file consists of three parts. The first part of the file gives the headers of the summary. The
second part of the file contains the attendance summary for all employees. Each line contains
the staff number, name, department and attendance status of an employee. The status can be
PRESENT, LATE, ABSENT, or SUSPICIOUS. If an employee has no attendance records, the
status should be ABSENT. If an employee has an ARRIVE record and one LEAVE record, the
status should be PRESENT for those arriving on time or LATE for those arriving late. Otherwise,
the status should be SUSPICIOUS. The last part of the file reports the occurrence of each status.
The following is an example of the summary.txt file based on the above example attendance.txt
and employees.txt files,
Daily Attendance Summary

--------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Presences: 1
2
Number of Absences: 0
Number of Late Arrivals: 1
Number of Suspicious Records: 1
To sum up, you are required to implement a program to update the monthly attendance summary
and generate a daily attendance summary based on the employee information and the daily attendance
records. Your calculations should be based on the policy described above. Here is a diagram
summarizing the relationship of all files.
Figure 1: Relationship of input and output files
2.2 General Specification
You are required to write two programs, one in FORTRAN and the other one in COBOL, for the
attendance tracking module of the System. You should name your FORTRAN source as “atd.for”
and your COBOL source as “atd.cob”.
1. Input and Output Specification
Your programs should read three input files: employees.txt, attendance.txt, and
monthly-attendance.txt, which contain employees’ information, daily and monthly attendance
records. Your program should compute the number of complete 15-minute periods
being late, number of complete overtime work hours, number of days absent, and the status
of every employee. These calculations should be strictly based on the policy described above.
Your program should output two files for updating the monthly attendance information and
generating a summary for the human resources manager. The output files should follow the
description in Section 2.4.
For FORTRAN, the name of the input files should be passed to your program as parameters
in the command line:
./atd employees.txt attendance.txt monthly-attendance.txt
For COBOL, you should “hardcode” the name of the input files in your program EXACTLY
as “employees.txt”, “attendance.txt” and “monthly-attendance.txt”.
The naming of output files should be as follows:
Output ASCII filenames for FORTRAN: monthly-attendancefor.txt, summaryfor.txt
Output ASCII filenames for COBOL: monthly-attendancecob.txt, summarycob.txt
2. Restrictions on using FORTRAN and COBOL
In order to force you to program as in the old days, ONLY 2 keywords are allowed in
3
selection and loop statements: “IF” and “GOTO”. You are not allowed to use modern control
constructs, such as if-then-else or while loop. Using any other keywords will receive marks
deduction.
3. Error Handling
The programs should also handle possible errors gracefully by printing meaningful error
messages to the standard output. For example, failure to open a non-existing file. However,
you CAN assume that the input files are free of errors.
4. Good Programming Style
A good programming style not only improves your grade but also helps you a lot in debugging.
Poor programming style will receive marks deduction. Construct your program with good
readability and modularity. Provide sufficient documentation by commenting your codes
properly but never redundantly. Divide up your programs into subroutines instead of clogging
the main program. The main section of your program should only handle the basic file
manipulation such as file opening and closing, and subprogram calling. The main purpose of
programming is not just to make the program right but also make it good.
5. Other Notes
You are NOT allowed to implement your program in another language (e.g. Assembly/C/C++)
and then initiate system calls or external library calls in FORTRAN and COBOL. Your source
codes will be compiled and PERUSED, and the object code tested!
Do not implement your programs in multiple source files. Although FORTRAN and COBOL
do allow you to build a project with subroutines scattered among multiple source files, you
should only submit one source file for each language.
NO PLAGIARISM!!!! You are free to design your own algorithm and code your own
implementation, but you should not “borrow” codes from your classmates. If you use an
algorithm or code snippet that is publicly available or use codes from your classmates or
friends, be sure to DECLARE it in the comments of your program. Failure to comply will
be considered as plagiarism.
A crash introduction to FORTRAN and COBOL will be given in the upcoming tutorials.
Please DO attend the tutorials to get a brief idea on these two languages, and then learn
the languages by yourselves. For a more in-depth study, we encourage students to search
relevant resources on the Internet (just Google it!).
2.3 Input File Format Specification
There are three input files: employees.txt, attendance.txt, and monthly-attendance.txt. All
input files are in plain ASCII texts. Each line is ended with the characters “\r\n”. You should
strictly follow the format as stated in the following.
The dates used in all files are specified by a string of the form: YYYY-MM-DD, where YYYY,
MM, and DD represent a 4-digit year, a 2-digit month, and a 2-digit day respectively. If a
month of a day has only one digit, start the number with zero. For example, the month of
May is specified as “05”.
Each line of employees.txt contains eight fields of fixed lengths of an employee.
1. Staff number : a 4-digit string. If it is less than 1000, the left side of the number will be
padded with zero(es).
2. Last name: a string of length 10. If there are less than 10 alphanumeric characters in
the name, spaces would be padded at the right side of the name.
3. First name: a string of length 20. If there are less than 20 alphanumeric characters in
the name, spaces would be padded at the right side of the name.
4
4. Gender : a single character. It is always ‘M’ or ‘F’.
5. Date of birth: a string of length 10. It is in date format.
6. Hiring date: a string of length 10. It is in date format.
7. Department: a string of length 3. It is an abbreviation of the department. It always
consists of 3 capital letters.
8. Monthly salary: a 6-digit string. It is between 0 to 999999. If it is less than 100000, the
left side of the number will be padded with zero(es).
File attendance.txt is as follows. The first line is the date in date format. The rest of the
file contains three fields of fixed lengths of a daily attendance record of an employee on each
line.
1. Staff number : a 4-digit string. If it is less than 1000, the left side of the number will be
padded with zero(es).
2. Status: a string of length 6. It is always “ARRIVE”, or “LEAVE”. If length of status
is less than 6, spaces would be padded on the right side of the status.
3. Time: a 16-character string of the form YYYY-MM-DD-HH:NN, where YYYY, MM,
DD, HH, and NN represent a 4-digit year, a 2-digit month, a 2-digit day, a 2-digit hour,
and a 2-digit minute. Time is written in 24-hour clock convention. If a 2-digit number
is less than 10, there is a leading zero.
File monthly-attendance.txt is as follows. The first line is month information, in YYYYMM
format, representing a 4-digit year and a 2-digit month. The rest of the file contains
four fields of fixed lengths of a monthly attendance record of an employee on each line. The
number of lines in this file should be the same as that in the employees.txt file.
1. Staff number : a 4-digit string. If it is less than 1000, the left side of the number will be
padded with zero(es).
2. Number of days of absent: a 3-digit string. If it is less than 100, the left side of the
number will be padded with zero(es).
3. Number of complete 15-minute periods being late: a 3-digit string. If it is less than 100,
the left side of the number will be padded with zero(es).
4. Number of overtime work hours: a 3-digit string. If it is less than 100, the left side of
the number will be padded with zero(es).
You may make the following assumptions on the files:
All dates and times are valid.
Maximum number of employees is 9999.
File employees.txt is sorted by staff number in ascending order.
File attendance.txt is sorted by time in chronological order from the second line onward.
File monthly-attendance.txt is sorted by staff number in ascending order from the second
line onward.
The timestamp of the first attendance record in file attendance.txt is on or after YYYYMM-DD-00:00,
where YYYY-MM-DD is the date on the first line of the same file.
The timestamp of the last attendance record in file attendance.txt is on or before YYYYMM-DD-23:59,
where YYYY-MM-DD is the date on the first line of the same file.
Each line respects the description in this specification.

2.4 Output File Format Specification
There should be two output files, monthly-attendanceXXX.txt, summaryXXX.txt (XXX
= for or cob), containing the updated monthly attendance summary and the daily attendance
summary. Each line is ended with the characters “\r\n”. You should strictly follow the format as
stated in the following.
File monthly-attendanceXXX.txt should have the same format as monthly-attendance.txt
as described in Section 2.3. It should be sorted by staff number in ascending order from second
line onward.
File summaryXXX.txt is as follows. The file contains three parts.
– The first part is the header of summary. It consists of four lines.
1. The first line is fixed as “Daily Attendance Summary”.
2. The second line is the date. It begins with “Date: ”, followed by the date information,
which is the same as the date information in attendance.txt. However, the
date is written with month, day, and year in order with a comma before the year.
Month is given in english. There are no leading zeroes. The date has length of 18.
Space(s) is padded on the right of the date if needed. For example, “2018-01-02”
in attendance.txt becomes “January 2, 2018 ” in summary.txt.
3. The third line is the field header. It begins with “Staff-ID Name”, followed by 28
spaces, and followed by “Department Status”.
4. The fourth line contains 62 “-”.
– The second part is the attendance summary for all employees. Each line contains four
fields of fixed lengths of attendance summary. The number of lines in this file is the
same as that in employees.txt. It should be sorted by staff number in ascending order.
1. Staff number, Last name, First name, Department: same information and format
from employees.txt, i.e. strings of length 4, 10, 20, 3, respectively, with zero(es)
6
or spaces padded if needed. Staff number, last name, and department are aligned
with the field headers Staff-ID, Name, and Department respectively. There is a
space between last name and first name.
2. Status: a string of length 10. It is always “PRESENT”, “LATE”, “ABSENT”, or
“SUSPICIOUS”. If the length of status is less than 10, spaces should be padded on
the right of the status. It is aligned with the field header Status.
– The last part summerizes the occurrence of each status. It consists of five lines.
1. The first line contains 62 “-”.
2. The second line begins with “Number of Presences: ”, followed by the number
of staff with the “PRESENT” status.
3. The third line begins with “Number of Absences: ”, followed by the number of
staff with the “ABSENT” status.
4. The fourth line begins with “Number of Late Arrivals: ”, followed by the number
of staff with the “LATE” status.
5. The fifth line begins with “Number of Suspicious Records: ”, followed by the
number of staff with the “SUSPICOUS” status.
6. All numbers are of length 4. There are no leading zeroes. If a number is less than
1000, the left side of the number is padded with space(s).
Please make sure that each employee in employees.txt has a corresponding line in both the
monthly-attendanceXXX.txt and summaryXXX.txt files.
The following is the content of the output files based on the sample input files given.

2.5 Report
You should give a simple report to answer the following questions within one A4 page:
1. Compare the conveniences and difficulties in implementing the attendance tracking module
of the Human Resources Management System in FORTRAN and COBOL. You can divide
7
the implementation into specific tasks such as “reading file in certain format”, “simulating
loops”, “case control” and so on. Give code segments in your programs to support your
explanation.
2. Compare FORTRAN and COBOL with modern programming languages (e.g. Java/C++/...)
from different aspects (e.g. paradigm, data type, parameter parsing, ...). You are free to pick
your favorite modern programming language.
3. In your program design, how do you separate the tasks into submodules? Tell us briefly
the functionality of each submodule and the main flow of your program in terms of these
submodules.
