Format (Record) Level Structures
At the beginning of each format, a table of comments is generated in the source program listing. These comments provide details of the files used during compilation of the program. If there are record keys for the file, comments are also generated to show how the keys are defined in DDS. The record key entries that may appear in the table and the table heading are listed below.
| Heading | Possible Entry |
|---|---|
NUMBER |
key field number |
If redefinition is required to allow for the generation of multiple formats,
a group level name is generated as follows:
05 file-name-RECORD
PIC X(size of largest record).
for each format a group level name is assigned as follows:
- INPUT
05 format-name-I - OUTPUT
05 format-name-O - I-O Format
05 format-name
