what you are saying makes sense, but instead of putting that in a class could I just call those functions and variables in writeBillingRecord? I don't understand the purpose of it otherwise (writeBillingRecord that is).

you can certainly write the complete program based on what you have in post #12 - in fact you could write it in assembly lanugage!
the idea of using a class is to encapsulate the data and processing methods in a single entity

and in the end will probably save time and make a simpler system
in particular as you wish to save data sets in some kind of data structure (array, vector, list, ?)
