This wizard contains the information specified in the 'Data element call' section of the '-W Lines' tab of the Program. You specify where this Data Element will be located in the generated Program, its format and its corresponding data-name.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
For a batch program | |
AA to ZZ and 0A to 0Z | These values cause the lines entered in this tab to
be generated at the beginning of the WORKING STORAGE Section.
Relatively to the Data Structures called in the -CD Lines tab,
these lines will be generated as follows:
|
00 to 09, 1A to 19... 9A to 99 | The lines entered in this tab will be generated in the WORKING STORAGE Section, after all the Data Structures whose COBOL position is lower than this prefix |
For a transactional program | |
AA to 0Z | The description is generated in the WORKING STORAGE Section. |
00 to 99 | The description is generated in the LINKAGE Section. |
AA and 00 | These values are used by the system for data generated automatically. |
99 | With a Line number = 999, this value is used by the system for the PROCEDURE DIVISION statement. Therefore, you may use it to create a line with a sequencing number 99999, which will replace the PROCEDURE DIVISION line which is automatically generated. |
$n | This represents a parameterized value in a Macro-Structure |
In a Macro, it can be parameterized by assigning it a $n value
