The choices of stock, as well as which suppliers to use, are important decisions that have to be made on a regular basis. As you are providing a service to learners the prices have to be quite reasonable and making a profit is not always the main aim, rather healthy food choices. QUESTION 1 DATABASE AND DELPHI The database, Tuckshop.mdb, which contains data related to this topic, has been supplied to you in a folder named Question 1. Two text files have been supplied as well. If you cannot use the database provided, use the text files named Suppliers.txt and Stock.txt to create your own database named Tuckshop.mdb containing two tables named Suppliers and Stock. Change the data types of the fields of the tables to the specifications given below. Create a one-to-one relationship between the two tables. The Suppliers table stores data about the suppliers of stock for the tuck-shop. The fields in this table are defined as follows: The following table is an example of the data contained in the table named Suppliers in the database named Tuckshop.mdb. ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 4 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY P1 (NOVEMBER 2012) The Stock table stores data about the stock that is either sold or used in the tuck- shop. The fields in this table are defined as follows: The following table is an example of the data contained in the table named Stock in the database named Tuckshop.mdb. You have also been supplied with an incomplete Delphi program with a unit named Question1_UX and a project named Question1_PX in the folder named Question 1. Open the incomplete program. ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (NOVEMBER 2012) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY P1 5  The program should be able to connect to the database named Tuckshop.mdb.  When you do QUESTION 1.1 and you find that the connectivity is not in place, use the following steps to establish connection with the database:  Click on the ADOQuery component named qryTuckshop.  Click on the Ellipse button (three dots) to the right of the ConnectionString property in the Object Inspector.  Click on the Build button which takes you to the Data Link Properties dialogue box.  Select Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click on Next.  The first option on the Connection tab sheet allows you to browse and find the Tuckshop.mdb file.  Remove the user name Admin.  Click on the Test Connection button.  Click OK on each one of the open dialogue windows. NOTE: If you cannot establish connectivity with the database at all when you execute the program you must still do and submit the programming code for marking. Marks will only be awarded for the programming code that contains the SQL statements in the unit named Question1_UX as well as code that makes use of an inputbox. 1.1 Complete the code in the All Suppliers button by formulating an SQL statement to display all information from the Suppliers table, sorted according to the Supplier.

NB: You will need to link the tables with an appropriate where clause to be able to do this. Example of output: (7) ### Page 7 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (NOVEMBER 2012) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY P1 7 1.6 Complete the code in the Sweet Variety button by formulating an SQL statement to count how many different sweets the tuck-shop stocks. Display the output with a suitable heading. Example of output: (4) 1.7 Complete the code in the VAT button by formulating an SQL statement that will determine the amount of VAT (14%) paid on the UnitPrice. Display the StockID, Type, Description, UnitPrice as well as the calculated field VAT. Example of output of the first few records: (6) 1.8 Complete the code in the Insert button by formulating an SQL statement that will insert a new supplier. Once the new supplier has been added, display all the information in the Suppliers table. New Supplier’s Information: SupplierNo: RJSALE Supplier: RJ SALES Address: 21 Union Ave ContactNo: 0437211895 (5)  Enter your name and surname as a comment line in the first line of the file named Question1_UX.pas containing the SQL statements.  Save the unit Question1_UX and the project Question1_PX (File|Save All).  A printout of the code of the Question1_UX.pas file will be required.

They rotate their duty on a weekly basis. In this program you will work out the duties for a period of a month as well as many calculations regarding the stock. The stock information is stored in a text file and the Council members’ names are stored in an array arrLearners. The code to get the information from the text file has already been written and information is stored in an array called arrItems. Do not delete or alter the code. arrItems contents are stored as follows: Name of Item,Units,UnitPrice 2.1 Write a procedure named Items which will separate the contents stored in arrItems. The array must be separated into the Name of the Item (arrName), units (arrUnits), as well as the price per item (arrPrice). (10) 2.2 Write code for the Calculate Costs button which will call procedure Items. The quantities will be generated randomly (values between 1 and 20). The amount excluding VAT must be calculated for each item based on the quantity ordered, as well as the amount including VAT (14%). Once the amount including VAT has been determined, the selling price per unit can then be calculated. The profit is calculated if all the stock is sold. Display the information and values formatted to two decimals neatly in columns in the richedit component. (17) ### Page 9 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (NOVEMBER 2012) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY P1 9 2.3 Write code for the Duties button which will sort the Council members’ names in alphabetical order. Once the names are sorted they must be put in groups of five to work over a period of four weeks. (13)  Enter your name and surname as a comment line in the first line of the file named Question2_UX.pas.  Save the unit Question2_UX and the project Question2_PX (File|Save All).  Make a printout of the code of the Question2_UX.pas.

Grade Eleven learners are requested to provide their ID numbers. Many times the ID numbers are recorded incorrectly and with this program those errors can be eliminated. 3.1 3.1.1 Write a function called LengthID which will receive the ID number as a parameter and will return a boolean value indicating that the ID number is the correct length. All South African ID numbers must contain 13 digits. (4) 3.1.2 Write a procedure called DateOfBirth which will receive the ID number as a parameter and will return the date of birth in the following format: YYYY/MM/DD. The first six digits of an ID number represent the YYMMDD. (8) 3.1.3 Write a function called Gender which will receive the ID number as a parameter and will return a value M or F indicating the gender. The seventh digit of an ID number is the gender digit. If it is less than 5 (0 to 4) the person is female and if the digit is between 5 and 9 (inclusive) then the person is male. (5) 3.1.4 Write a function called Verify which will receive the ID number as a parameter and will return a boolean value. An ID number is verified as follows: ID Number 8001015009087 as an example:  Add all the digits in the odd positions (excluding the last digit) 8 + 0 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 = 13  The digits in the even positions must be multiplied by 2 011098 * 2 = 22196  Add all the digits after it has been multiplied 2 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 6 = 20  Add the answers of step 1 and step 3 13 + 20 = 33  Subtract the second digit from 10. 10 – 3 = 7  If the answer is the same as the last digit of the ID number then the ID number is correct else it is invalid. 7 = 7 ID NUMBER IS VALID  Example output on next page. (5) 3.2 Write code for the Enter ID number EventHandler which will ask the user to enter an ID number by making use of an InputBox component. If the ID number does not consist of 13 digits then a message must be displayed informing the user and must also enable the user to enter the ID number again until it consists of 13 digits. The ID number must be verified and if it is correct it must display a suitable message in the richedit component and also the display the gender and date of birth. If the ID number is not correct a message must be displayed in the richedit component.
