 | | | The PROGRAM-ID paragraph contains the name of the program and is required in
every program. The AUTHOR paragraph contains any comment the programmer
wishes to make; however, it usually contains the programmer’s name. The
AUTHOR paragraph is optional; in fact, this paragraph is obsolete in COBOL-85.
| | The Environment Division provides a place for entries that have to do with the
world outside the program. In particular, it lists the files the program uses.
| | The Data Division provides the place where the program’s variables are stored.
It is divided into different sections for different types of data: file data (File Section),
static data (Working-Storage Section), parameters (Linkage Section), and others.
| | The last division is the Procedure Division, which contains the procedural statements
that make up the program. |
