I have encountered a block in my programming escapade. The project that I am working on is from a visual basic 6.0 programming book and is a program that opens a data file filled with roman numerals, read to end of file, and outputs the numerals digit form, performs a mathematical operator on them, and then display output. I am also employing the use of subfunctions/subroutines to better organize my program. My Main Problem is that I am having trouble obtaining the correct output. Below are my subs.
ReadRoman - Reads a string which represents a Roman Number, calls GetDigit to convert this Roman Digit into a decimal number, adds this decimal number to the value of the roman number.
GetDigit = Takes a roman digit and returns the decimal value to the caller.
Calculate - Takes the decimal equivalent of both Roman numbers and the operator and computes their combined result. Uses WriteRoman to display the last line of output.
WriteRoman - Takes a decimal number and converts it into a Roman Nubmer. Calls Writedigit in order to accomplish the above.
WriteDigit - Print a Roman Digit
To better explain it, I have included the data file as well as a little preview of what I would like to output.
Output
The First Numer is 1226
The second number is 68
The Operation is +
MCCXXVI + LXVIII = MCCLXXXXIIII (1294)
The DAT file is organized as seen below.

Here is the code that I have so far.

Thank you for your time, and I apologize for any grammatical errors and lack of programming experience.
