I'm currently within my first semester of college and have decided to go with programming since it has always interested me. Unfortunately I have no programming background what so ever.

Now in my current programming class we're working with Visual Logic to be taught the importance of using logic within programming. The current assignment were doing is working with multiple control breaks while using a file for our data input. I'm completely stuck at creating a control break within my original one to go through the rest of my data that's under a different sales id being input through a file input command.

I have my pseudocode typed out for what I currently have if anybody would be kind of enough to take a peak at it and let me know what I need to do/change for it to function properly. If need be I can post my assignment directions as well since my explanation is probably fairly shitty.

It has always interested you, but you never tried it in your spare time? i suggest rethinking this as a career path.



always post your code if you seek help.

Yeah I've been thinking about it honestly.

But anyway here is the mess.
