DATA DIVISION Syntax Rules All sections within the DATA DIVISION are optional. When included, however, they must appear in the order shown in the format description. Each DATA DIVISION entry begins with a level indicator or a level number, followed by a space, the name associated with the level indicator or level number, and a sequence of independent description clauses. The last clause must be terminated by a period. The division header must begin in Area A (the eighth through eleventh character positions of each record). It consists of the words DATA DIVISION and is followed by a period.
