IDENTIFICATION DIVISION Format 

The IDENTIFICATION DIVISION has the following format:


            

In this format, the paragraph headers identify the kind of information
that each paragraph contains.  Thus, in the PROGRAM-ID paragraph, you
specify the name of your program; in the AUTHOR paragraph, you generally
enter your own name.

The IDENTIFICATION DIVISION can not be abbreviated to ID DIVISION in the
contained programs within a nested program.  Only the outermost
containing program can abbreviate IDENTIFICATION to ID.
