IDENTIFICATION DIVISION Syntax Rules The PROGRAM-ID paragraph is always required, but all other paragraphs are optional. When any optional paragraphs are included, they must always appear in the order shown in the format description. Begin the division header in Area A of the first line. Begin each paragraph header in Area A of a new line. In each paragraph, begin the paragraph body (program-name or comment-entry) either on the same line as the paragraph header or in Area B of a new line following the header. When you must continue a lengthy entry, begin the continuation in Area B of the next available line. The PROGRAM-ID paragraph must be terminated by a period followed by a space.
