Storing Scores on Disks Student scores can be stored on a diskette. A diskette must be in the drive prior to choosing this option. Errors and possible loss of the score data may occur if the drive does not contain a diskette. The xxx is the student ID that is a sequence of two to nine numeric digits. This can make the file appear corrupted by the score printout utility.
Word processors inject formatting characters into a file.
This program calculates and stores a code with each record in the student score file. This Validity Code is a simple encryption signature designed to reduce the possibility of file entry alteration and the generation of duplicate records. The Validity Code provides some low-level security but is certainly not hack proof. This option produces a formatted printout of a selected student grade file. Never attempt to use this option to print any other file type.
