1,516 Questions

Computer file systems dictate how data is stored, organized, and retrieved on storage devices. Important concepts include file allocation tables, access mechanisms, and various formats like sequential and video files. Candidates preparing for banking and government exams should practice these fundamentals thoroughly.

  1. unlink()

  2. delete_file()

  3. delete()

  4. remove()

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

unlink() is the PHP function used to delete files. delete_file(), delete(), and remove() are not standard PHP file deletion functions - these might exist in other languages but not in PHP's filesystem functions.

  4. Date

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In historic Netscape Server-Side JavaScript, the File object allowed server-side file manipulation. FileUpload is client-side, while standard built-in objects like Date and Function exist on both environments but are generic, making File the specific server-side object.

  4. KSDS, RRDS

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) supports four main file organization types: KSDS (Key Sequenced Data Set) for indexed access, ESDS (Entry Sequenced Data Set) for sequential-only access, RRDS (Relative Record Data Set) for direct access via relative record number, and LDS (Linear Data Set). COBOL can work with KSDS, ESDS, and RRDS, which are the primary VSAM file types used in mainframe applications.

A,B Correct answer
Explanation

QSAM (Queued Sequential Access Method) supports several recording modes for organizing data in files. F (Fixed) means all records are the same length, V (Variable) allows records of different lengths with length prefixes, U (Undefined) is for unformatted data, and S (Spanned) allows records to span multiple blocks. These modes determine how physical records are stored and accessed on mainframe systems.

Multiple choice technology databases
  1. ALTER DATABASE … ADD FILE

  2. ALTER DATABASE … MODIFY FILEGROUP

  3. ALTER DATABASE … ADD FILEGROUP

  4. ALTER DATABASE … REMOVE FILEGROUP

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

To create a new filegroup in SQL Server, you use the ALTER DATABASE statement with the ADD FILEGROUP clause. The ADD FILE clause is used to add actual data files to an existing filegroup, MODIFY FILEGROUP changes filegroup properties, and REMOVE FILEGROUP removes an existing filegroup. Only ADD FILEGROUP creates a new filegroup.

Multiple choice technology databases
  1. Read-only

  2. Write-Only

  3. Default

  4. Primary

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

SQL Server supports several filegroup types: Primary (contains the primary data files and system tables), Default (the default filegroup where objects are created if not specified), and Read-only (can be set to prevent modifications). Write-Only is not a valid filegroup type in SQL Server. Filegroups control how data files are organized and managed within a database.

  4. Bitmap Distribution Format

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

BDF stands for Bitmap Distribution Format, which is a file format for bitmap fonts used in the X Window System. It describes font glyph information in a text-based format that can be compiled into server-specific formats.

Multiple choice technology programming languages
  1. A File with .txt extension

  2. A File with .dat extension

  3. A File with .xml extension

  4. Tables in the SQL database

  5. All of these

  6. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

M0 programs are designed to be flexible input processors that can handle multiple data sources. They can read from text files (.txt), data files (.dat), XML files (.xml), and directly from SQL database tables. The key is that M0 is a versatile ingestion layer that normalizes various input formats for downstream processing.

Multiple choice technology programming languages
  1. Reproc File

  2. CON file

  3. ACV File

  4. ACT File

  5. Store File

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In the Post-WIP processing workflow, the ACT file initiates the processing sequence. This file serves as the starting point, triggering subsequent processing steps. Other files like Reproc, CON, ACV, and Store files are typically utilized in different stages or for different purposes within the workflow.

  1. OUTREC FILES=(01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10),SPLIT

  2. OUTREC=(01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10),SPLIT

  3. OUTFIL FILES=(01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10),SPLIT

  4. ALL

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

OUTFIL FILES=(01,02,...,10),SPLIT is the correct syntax to split an input file into approximately equal output files. The SPLIT option with FILES parameter distributes records evenly across the specified output DDnames. OUTREC is for record reformatting, not splitting.

Multiple choice technology programming languages
  1. .ASP

  2. .ASPX

  3. .Web

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

To answer this question, the user needs to know the common file extensions used in ASP.NET development.

The correct answer is:

B. .ASPX

Option A (.ASP) is incorrect because it is the file extension used for Classic ASP files, not ASP.NET files.

Option C (.Web) is incorrect because this is not a valid file extension used in ASP.NET development.

Option D (None of the above) is incorrect because .ASPX is, in fact, the correct file extension used for ASP.NET files.

Therefore, the answer is: B. .ASPX
