Question

Fact Pattern: A sales transaction record designed to contain the information presented below. Column Information 1-10 Customer account number 11-30 Customer name 31-38 Amount of sale 39-44 Sales date 45-46 Store code number 47-49 Sales clerk number 50-59 Invoice number If the last letter of a customer’s name is erroneously entered in column 31, which of the following is most likely to detect the error during an input edit run? A logic check. A field check.

Answer 1

The answer is field check.

Explanation:

The sales transaction record was designed to enter information by range, so the data validation is oriented for range validation and not for a specific logic. In other words, the transaction will check if the information is in a valid range and not if the information is logically valid.
