Here are some rules and examples for filling in positions 1 through 44 of the data description specifications (DDS) form.
DDS keyword entries for ICF files (positions 45 through 80) gives rules and examples for specifying DDS keywords.
For more information about keywords for ICF files, see the ICF
Programming
book.
Specify the entries in the following order to define an ICF file:
Repeat the record-level entries and field-level entries for each record format in the file.
Specify at least one record format in the file.
The following figure shows an ICF file coding example.

These topics describe how to specify the first 44 positions of the data description specifications (DDS) form for ICF files.
To code the remaining part of the form, see DDS keyword entries for ICF files (positions 45 through 80).
Figure 1 shows some positional entries for ICF files.
