The processing of a file should begin with the execution of an OPEN statement
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the OPEN statement is used to establish a connection between a program and a file, allowing the program to access and manipulate the file's contents. Without executing the OPEN statement, the program would not be able to read from or write to the file. Therefore, it is necessary for the processing of a file to begin with the execution of an OPEN statement.Rate this question:

PERFORM P2 VARYING i FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL i <10 will Execute P2
- A.
9 TIMES
- B.
10 TIMES
- C.
11 TIMES
- D.
1 TIME
- E.
0 TIMES
Correct Answer
E. 0 TIMESExplanation
The given code snippet will execute P2 0 times. This is because the loop condition states that P2 should be executed "UNTIL i < 10". Since the initial value of i is 1, which is not less than 10, the loop will not be entered and P2 will not be executed at all. Therefore, the correct answer is 0 TIMES.Rate this question:

INITIALIZE Verb Serves as a Convenient Alternative to the Use of MOVE in PROCEDURE DIVISION
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the INITIALIZE verb in the PROCEDURE DIVISION of a COBOL program is used to set all the values of a group of variables to their initial values. This is a convenient alternative to using the MOVE verb to individually assign initial values to each variable. The INITIALIZE verb simplifies the code and makes it more readable by initializing multiple variables at once.Rate this question:

The WRITE statement cannot be used for files opened in the I-O mode
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The WRITE statement is used to write data to a file. However, when a file is opened in the I-O (input-output) mode, it allows both reading and writing operations on the file. In this mode, the WRITE statement cannot be used because it is not allowed to write data to the file. Therefore, the statement "The WRITE statement cannot be used for files opened in the I-O mode" is true.Rate this question:

Called Program can Call Other Programs, But Must Not Call the Calling Program
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because in programming, a called program can invoke or call other programs or functions to perform specific tasks. However, it is important to avoid calling the calling program to prevent creating an infinite loop or causing unexpected behavior. This practice helps maintain the flow and organization of the program, ensuring that each program or function is responsible for its own specific task and does not interfere with the calling program.Rate this question:

It is Possible to Access Data in Tables in a Direct Manner Using _______.
- A.
Index
- B.
Subscript
- C.
Both
- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. IndexExplanation
Indexing allows for direct access to specific data within a table. By using an index, you can quickly locate and retrieve the desired information without having to scan the entire table. This improves the efficiency and speed of data retrieval operations. Therefore, the correct answer is "Index".Rate this question:

By using ________ option with PERFORM we can execute a series of procedures which are in a sequence
- A.
THRU
- B.
UNTIL
- C.
THROUGH
- D.
Both a and b
- E.
Both a and c
- F.
None of the above
Correct Answer
E. Both a and cExplanation
By using the "THRU" option with PERFORM, we can execute a series of procedures in a sequence. Similarly, by using the "THROUGH" option with PERFORM, we can also execute a series of procedures in a sequence. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both a and c" as both the "THRU" and "THROUGH" options allow for executing a series of procedures in a sequence.Rate this question:

................represents the displacement value of the entry from beginning of table
- A.
Superscript
- B.
Subscript
- C.
Index
- D.
All the above
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. IndexExplanation
The term "index" represents the displacement value of the entry from the beginning of a table. In other words, it indicates the position or location of a particular entry within the table. This is commonly used in databases and data structures to efficiently retrieve and manipulate data. The other options, superscript, subscript, and all the above, do not accurately describe the displacement value of an entry in a table. Therefore, the correct answer is "index".Rate this question:

- A.
UPDATING
- B.
CHANGING
- C.
REPLACING
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. REPLACINGExplanation
By using the REPLACING option with the INITIALIZE verb, we can set alphanumeric fields to values other than spaces and numeric fields to values other than zeroes. This option allows us to replace the initial values of the fields with specific values, providing more flexibility in initializing variables.Rate this question:

If at END of file occurs what is the FILE STATUS______________
- A.
00
- B.

The simple SORT verb requires the naming of three files ____________, _____________, and ___________
- A.
Input file,output file, sort file
- B.
Input file,output file and the work file
- C.
Input file,output file and the intermediate file
- D.
Input file, work file, search file
Correct Answer
B. Input file,output file and the work fileExplanation
The correct answer is input file, output file, and the work file. This is because the SORT verb in this context requires the naming of these three files in order to perform the sorting operation. The input file is the file that contains the data to be sorted, the output file is where the sorted data will be written to, and the work file is used for temporary storage during the sorting process.Rate this question:
