TEXT (Text) Keyword for Physical and Logical Files

Use this record- or field-level keyword to supply a text description (or comment) for the record format or field that is used for program documentation.

The format of the keyword is:

TEXT('description')

The text must be enclosed in apostrophes. If the length of the text is greater than 50 positions, only the first 50 characters are used by the high-level language compiler.

Note:
If the TEXT keyword is specified for a logical file and no fields are specified, the text keyword for the physical file is used (if specified).
