      • Enter statements with syntax errors and review the source listing error messages.
    3. Code Basic Input/Output Statements
      • Input instream data and echo the records to SYSOUT.
    4. Code Arithmetic Statements
      • Calculate and output payroll information including gross payroll, FICA, taxes, and net payroll.
    5. Code Data Movement Statements
      • Enter claim information from a file and assign the individual fields to a structure.
    6. Code an IF Statement
      • Verify the claims file content; ensure that the individual fields have accepted numeric and value ranges.
