Description:

This issue aims to enhance the payroll.cob program by improving file handling robustness, refining STRING formatting for better report readability, and adding error logging for better debugging.

Proposed Enhancements:

  1. Improve File Handling:

    • Add FILE STATUS clauses to check for file opening and writing errors.
    • Display error messages if file operations fail.
  2. Enhance STRING Formatting in Report Generation:

    • Use formatted display variables (e.g., WS-SALARY-DISPLAY, WS-TAX-DISPLAY) to ensure proper alignment of monetary values.
  3. Better Error Handling & Logging:

    • Check FILE STATUS after OPEN and WRITE operations.
    • Print descriptive error messages when file operations fail.

Expected Outcome:

  • Improved program stability by handling file-related errors.
  • More readable payroll reports with correctly formatted salary, tax, and net pay values.
  • Easier debugging through meaningful error logs.
