5.1.5.2 Program Data
Program data is created by a program, instead of being read from a file.
The concept of logical records applies to program data as well as to file data. Program data can thus be grouped into logical records, and be defined by a series of record description entries. Items that need not be so grouped can be defined in independent data description entries (called data item description entries).
