How To Write A Computer Based Testing Program Using Files

I'm supposed to write a computer based testing program using files. I have started writing however, I am stuck. I am to prompt the user to enter the file name 'test.dat" and if something different is entered then a error message should be displayed. Also the file will create an input stream for the data using the file. I am to have the user enter other information about an employee and then write the record to the file.

The program should be created so when the user enters "quit" the loop is terminated and the file is closed. I'm not asking for code. I was just giving a brief synopsis of the project. Where I am stuck is I wrote the first part of the program that creates the file; however when I enter a wrong file name the exception error message does not display. The code is below:

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Project5Write
{
private Formatter x;
public void openFile(){
