change in format

The new bank uses a new format

Your friend tells you that just after taking a copy of your code, the word
came down that the health club was switching banks. Without telling you,
your friend found out the new bank format and updated his code in the gym
program.
That means that the POS program in the gym is generating records in the
new bank format.

The new bank format is:

Price / Credit Card / Description

This is the credit
This is the price: $35.00. card number. The final part is a
description of the sale.

0003500 5002454912715921 WORKOUT

OK, that‛s another
workout sold, so I‛ll write
Price.... then Credit Card...
then Description...

The bank accepted the transactions from the gym because
they were in the correct format.

But what about the coffee bar program?
