Program Data

Source records with program data follow all source specifications. The first line of the data section must start with **.

If desired, you can indicate the type of program data that follows the **, by specifying any of these keywords as required: CTDATA, FTRANS{(*NONE | *SRC)}, or ALTSEQ{(*NONE | *SRC | *EXT)}. By associating the program data with the appropriate keyword, you can place the groups of program data in any order after the source records.

The first entry for each input record must begin in position 1. The entire record need not be filled with entries. Array elements associated with unused entries will be initialized with the default value.

For more information on entering compile-time array records, see Rules for Array Source Records. For more information on file translation, see File Translation. For more information on alternate collating sequences, see Alternate Collating Sequence.
