condition-name-1
Can be referenced by statements and entries either in the program containing the definition of condition-name-1, or in a program contained within that program.
If explicitly referenced, a condition-name must be unique or be made unique through qualification and/or subscripting except when the scope of names conventions by themselves ensure uniqueness of reference.
If qualification is used to make a condition-name unique, the associated conditional variable may be used as the first qualifier. If qualification is used, the hierarchy of names associated with the conditional variable itself must be used to make the condition-name unique.
If references to a conditional variable require subscripting, reference to any of its condition-names also requires the same combination of subscripting.
In the general format of the chapters that follow, "condition-name" refers to a condition-name qualified or subscripted, as necessary.
data-name-1
Can be a record-name.
file-name-1
Must be identified by an FD or SD entry in the Data Division.
File-name-1 must be unique within this program.
mnemonic-name-1
For information on acceptable values for mnemonic-name-1, see "SPECIAL-NAMES Paragraph" in topic 4.1.3.
