Introduction

Aromamora PLC is a company which sells essential oils to Aromatherapists, Health Shops, Chemists and other mass users of essential oils. Every month, details of sales to these customers are gathered together into a Sales File (SALES.DAT). A program is required which will produce a summary report from this file showing the quantity (in millilitres) and value of the essential oils purchased by each customer.
Although Aromamora sells both base and essential oils, the report should summarize sales of essential oils only. The report should be printed, sequenced on ascending Customer-Name.

 

The Sales File

The Sales File contains details of sales to all Aromamora customers. It is a validated, unsorted sequential file. The records in the Sales File have the following description:

Notes

Oil-Ids that contain an "E" represent essential oils. Those that contain a "B" represent base oils.
Unit-Size is the size in millilitres of the oil container purchased.
Units-Sold is the number of units purchased.
The quantity of oil sold for a particular sale is :- Unit-Size * Units-Sold.
The value of a sale is :- Qty-Sold * Cost-Per-Ml.
The Cost-Per-Ml is obtained from a 30 element pre-defined table of values (see the program outline for details). The first element of the table contains the cost of oil E01, the second - oil E02 and so on. Each element of the table has the following description :- PIC 99V99.
