I have inherited a Cobol program that is writing barcoded labels in something I have never seen to an IPDS printer. Here is an example:
01 PP1-LABEL-START2.
03 FILLER PIC X(15)
VALUE "331100000140400".
03 FILLER PIC X(23)
VALUE "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX".
03 FILLER PIC X VALUE X"0D".
03 FILLER PIC X(15)
VALUE "331100000330400".
03 FILLER PIC X(14)
VALUE "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX".
03 FILLER PIC X VALUE X"0D".
03 FILLER PIC X(20)
VALUE "3311000004904009999/".
03 FILLER PIC X VALUE X"0D".
03 FILLER PIC X(22)
VALUE "331100000490358XXXXXXX".

Does anyone know how to interpret this? Thanks

PP1-LABEL-START2 (on level 01) is a data structure which consists of 9 components (on level 03).
All are character fields (PICTURE X(n)). First of the components is 15 characters long and has value "331100000140400",... third is one character long and contains hexadecimal "0D", ... etc.
What's unclear ?

I see that I didn't provide enough information - sorry. I am attaching all of the lines that produce the label. Thanks
