Re: Interesting Programming Problem

Right now it is really old code and only processes by month. We want to add
the second level of the sections.

Here is an example.

Our water bill charges for Water, Sewer, Storm Water, and Trash. So lets say
you didn't pay your bill for the last two months and you are now on the
third month. Your bill is now $150 (about $50 per month). For whatever
reason, you only send it $75. First thing that gets paid off is the oldest
month. Then any money left gets applied to storm water first, then trash,
then sewer, then water of that next month. Of course this is only one
scenario. Short of 16+ if statements, there has to be a better way to do
this.

would be easier to point you in the right direction.  ie.  how are these
currently processed and what change are you trying to make?

The monthly bills we send are broken into 4 sections and the money the
customers pay are applied to the sections in a certain order. The money is
also applied to the oldest month first then progresses to the current
month.
Normally I would say a multi-dimensional array. However, I see that RPG
doesn't do it the same way as Java or other languages would. I hope I
explained this well enough. Any suggestions? Can anyone point me in a
direction?
