Rational Developer for System z
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.1, Language Reference


LABEL RECORDS clause

The LABEL RECORDS clause indicates the presence or absence of labels. If it is not specified for a file, label records for that file must conform to the system label specifications.

For VSAM files, the LABEL RECORDS clause is syntax checked, but has no effect on the execution of the program. COBOL label processing, therefore, is not performed.

STANDARD
Labels conforming to system specifications exist for this file.

STANDARD is permitted for mass storage devices and tape devices.

OMITTED
No labels exist for this file.

OMITTED is permitted for tape devices.

data-name-2
User labels are present in addition to standard labels. data-name-2 specifies the name of a user label record. data-name-2 must appear as the subject of a record description entry associated with the file.

A LABEL RECORDS clause under an SD is syntax checked, but has no effect on the execution of the program.
