The Source Entry Utility provides special display formats for COBOL which correspond to the COBOL Coding Form and are designed to help you enter COBOL source statements. Figure 3 shows an example of a display format that SEU provides for COBOL. SEU can display a format line to help you enter or make changes to source code, position by position (see (1)).

For a complete description of how to enter source statements using SEU, refer to ADTS for AS/400: Source Entry Utility.
A compilation unit is an outermost ILE COBOL program and any nested ILE COBOL programs within the outermost program. Multiple compilation units may be entered in a single source member.
