COBOL Name property

The COBOL Name property is the name of the FD entry and the data description entries for each record in the COBOL data file. The following items are displayed as the COBOL Name properties for data items in the FD form.

• FD level indicator followed by a COBOL data filename.
• Level-number 01 followed by a COBOL record-name.
• Level-number 02 and above followed by the COBOL data-name of a group data item or elementary data item.
• Function items defined by Func: followed by the name of the internal function.
• A subscript item defined by SUBSCRIPT OF followed by the name of the item of which it is subscript.

Indentation of the abbreviated data descriptions gives a visual representation of the hierarchical structure of the data items contained in the record.
