DATA DIVISION Clauses There are two distinct sets of clauses in the DATA DIVISION: file description clauses and data description clauses. File description clauses apply only to data files (FD level entries) and sort-merge files (SD level entries). Data description clauses can be used in any of the three sections allowed by HP COBOL II within the DATA DIVISION. They must be used in conjunction with each file description entry.
