file definition

[marionetteI]

what are the two parts that a file can be defined in...?

 

[MarcLodge]

I'm going to assume you're stil enquiring on questions from your quiz as mentioned in a previous post. My answer to this would be file-control, where the external bits like ddnames etc are defined, and File Section where the actual files are defined.

what if the potential answers are:

A logical file, file name
B logical file, physical file
C file description, file name

The answer is C, but a professional would not phrase it that way.

I agree with Stephen.

It feels like

"nothing is more killing than doing the wrong things more efficient"

It is more a language thing than testing if someone understands COBOL. It feels not good.
