B Chapter 4 Identification Division The Identification Division identifies the source program and the resultant output listing. The user can include the date the program is written and such other information as desired under the paragraphs in the General Format shown on the next page. For MF only: This entire division (including the division header) is optional. For ANS85 only: The AUTHOR, INSTALLATION, DATE-WRITTEN , DATE-COMPILED, and SECURITY paragraphs are classed as obsolete elements in the ANSI'85 standard and may be deleted from the next full revision of the ANSI Standard. For MF only: All dialects in this COBOL implementation fully support this syntax. Refer to your COBOL System Reference for details on using the FLAGSTD directive to detect all occurrences of this syntax. For XOPEN only: Although they are a part of the standard COBOL definition, the obsolete paragraphs are explicitly excluded from the X/Open COBOL language definitions and should not be used in a conforming X/Open source program.
