Structure of Program Segments
Segment-Numbers
Section classification is accomplished by means of a system of
segment-numbers. The segment-number
is included in the section header.
General Format
section-name SECTION [segment-number].
Syntax Rules
1. The segment-number must be an integer ranging in value from 0
through 99.
2. If the segment-number is omitted from the section header, the
segment-number is assumed to be 0.
3. Sections in the declaratives must contain segment-numbers less
than 50.

|4. The segment-number must be a signed integer, but must not be a |
| floating-point literal. |

________________________________________________________________________
General Rules
1. All sections which have the same segment-number constitute a
program segment. All sections which have the same segment-number
need not be physically contiguous in the source program.
2. Segments with segment-number 0 through 49 belong to the fixed
portion of the object program.
3. Segments with segment-number 50 through 99 are independent
segments.
Segment-Limit
General Format
The SEGMENT-LIMIT
clause appears in the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph and has the following
format:
[ SEGMENT-LIMIT IS segment-number]
Syntax Rule
Segment-number
must be an integer ranging in value from 1 through 49.
General Rule
________________________________________________________________________
|(MF) |
|The SEGMENT-LIMIT clause is treated as documentary. |
