Objective:

Practices on PERFORM .... Statement. 1. Create a COBOL program to solve the following problem. First, your program needs to obtain the following information for each of the students for a set of N students, where N is determined by a user. Then, the program computes the remaining cost for each of the students. Moreover, the program should store the information for each of the students as well the remaining cost to a file called STUDENT-INFORMATION-FILE. student ID number, total financial aid received by the student, amount paid for tuition, amount paid for fees, amount paid for books, amount paid for housing, and amount paid for the meal plan.

2. Based on the input file STUDENT-INFORMATION-FILE generated in the problem (1), create a COBOL program to compute each of the overall totals for financial aid, tuition, fees, books, housing, meal plan, and the remaining cost for all students and store them into the file called TOTAL-AMOUNT-FILE.
