You enter here more physical information about the Data Structure line Definition in the Program.
It must contain a numeric value, which corresponds to the block size, i.e. the size of the physical record. Spaces and zeroes are equivalent.
If the Data Structure has a Usage set to P: Principal, you must enter the Code in program' of the result output Data Structure (2 characters).
If the Data Structure has a Usage set to R: Result or D: Output file, you must enter the Code in program of the principal input Data Structure (2 characters).
Value | Type of COBOL code |
---|---|
R: Reader | 1: IBM DOS/VSE |
P: Punch | 1: IBM DOS/VSE |
S: EBCDIC set code | 5: BULL GCOS8 and U: UNYSIS 2200 Series |
C: ASCII set code | 5: BULL GCOS8 |
O: OPTIONAL option not to be generated | 4: BULL GCOS7 and 5: BULL GCOS8 |
A: ALLOWING ALL file optioning option & REGARDLESS sequential reading | I: DEC VAX VMS |
If you fill it in, it is recommended to specify a character string, on 10 characters maximum, in the following format:
This code, on 6 characters, is required for indexed Data Structures.
You enter here the code (6 characters) of the Data Element whose values identify the different record types of a Data Structure.
This Data Element must belong to the common part Segment (00 Segment).
This name can also be specified in the 'Structure code' field of the Segment Definition tab.
