The Input-Output section of the Environment Division contains two paragraphs:
INPUT-OUTPUT Section - Format

>--+------------------------------------------+----------------><
'-I-O-CONTROL.-+-------------------------+-'

The keyword FILE-CONTROL may appear only once, at the beginning of the FILE-CONTROL paragraph. It must begin in Area A, and be followed by a separator period.
The exact contents of the Input-Output Section depend on the file organization and access methods used. See ORGANIZATION Clause and ACCESS MODE Clause.
