Question

which problem could best be solved using a control break program?
a. your client would like to combine two files with inventory data records into a single file.
b. your client would like to make adjustments to inventory costs data biweekly.
c. your client wants to update the customer data file using data on recent customer purchases.
d. your client requests a printout of inventory items and quantities organized by category.

Explanation:

A control - break program is typically used to perform operations based on changes in a control field. Organizing inventory items and quantities by category involves a control - break operation as it can group data based on the category (control field). Combining files, making bi - weekly adjustments, and updating customer data files do not directly relate to control - break functionality.

Answer:

d. Your client requests a printout of inventory items and quantities organized by category.
