I have a code here:
Menu Utilities Compilers Help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BROWSE ANSL.TL9701.UTMP3LIB(LAQREC6) - 01.99 Line 00000000 Col 001 080
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
********************************* Top of Data **********************************
$FORMAT COBOL
$ADD LAQREC6,PE AIG
|JOB ?NAME=LAQREC6
|C2ONLIN ?NAME=LAQREC6,?CALL=NCAL
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. LAQREC6.
What does the statements before the Identification division signifies or it is for what?

hi guy, cobol program starts only from the key word 'identification division'
hence the things wht evr written before tht u can treat as a instructions,information or comments. |

care to translate to an understandable language ???
for the O/P
the statements before the "identification division" are not cobol statement,
they might belong to some kind of software management tool,
it would be better to speak with Your peers |

| Or they may be compiler directives such as ARITH(EXTEND) that still affect the COBOL compilation. |

Louie, if you're still out there take Crag's advice and talk to a co-worker or check to see if your site has a user or reference manual.
Let us know what you dig up. |
