standards may include methods and techniques for internal (source
code level) docimientation, methods for data declaration, and an
approach to statement construction and techniques for input/output
(I/O). The programming standards applied are an essential control
since they serve as a method of communicating among members
ofthe program team, and between the team and users during
system development. Program coding standards minimize system
development setbacks resulting from personnel turnover, provide the
material needed to use the system effectively, and are requu-ed for
efficient program maintenance and modifications.
