The basic unit of description for the data in all sections is an entry. Each
entry consists of a level indicator or level number, a name which can be
referenced elsewhere in the program, and one or more clauses describing
the data item. The Data Division contains three types of entry:
File description entries describe physical characteristics of a file.
Record description entries describe characteristics of items used in
the program.
Report and report group description entries describe items generated
as a report.
The Working Storage and Common Storage Sections contain record descriptions
only; the File Section contains file descriptions and record descriptions; the
Report Section contains report and report group descriptions.
