COBOL/400 Language Help
- A data item description entry is a data description entry (here
used to refer to both data and record description entries) that specifies the
characteristics of a data item.
- Data item description entries are independent items in the
Working-Storage Section that bear no hierarchic relationship to one another
and need not be grouped into records, provided that they do not need to be
further subdivided. Instead, they are classified and defined as
independent elementary items. Each is defined in a separate data
item description entry that begins with either the level number 77 or
01.
