• Recognize whether CONTROLLED/BASED variables are being handled correctly in a program
Section 2 – Data Access (10%)
• Describe the correct use of file system access (e.g., sequential file, indexed sequential file, fixed vs. variable record formats, KEY, KEYTO and KEYFROM)
• Describe the basic characteristics of the relational/hierarchical data model
• Describe the use of the LUW (logical unit of work)
Section 3 – Technical Leadership (13%)
