I am using RedHat Enterprise Linux 8. I need a program to maintain cash book with denomination for every transaction. It should calculate the amount for the entered transaction and write it as an entry. Every entry should have 2 denominations one for the amount tendered and the other for the balance
amount repaid. It should calculate the final amount with denomination.

I can do it with dBase in DOS. Is there any tool like dBase for Linux? If not how can I do this in commandline in Linux?

MySQL for sure. but you'll find it much easier if coupled with PHP. try searching php scripts for such simple applications. or if you could explain me your requirement a little bit simpler, i think, i can do this. i am very bad at accounting.
