Format 1 is used only when the COBOL library contains the entire FD or SD
entry; format 2 describes external files; format 3 describes sort files. The
COpy statement is defined in section 6.1.
The level indicator FD or SD identifies the beginning of each file description
entry and must precede the file name. All semicolons are optional, but
the entry must be terminated by a period. The clauses which follow the name
of the file are optional in many cases, and their order of appearance is
immaterial.
The REPORT clause of the FD entry is used only when Report Writer is used;
it is described in chapter 5.
