File Description Entries
FILE STATUS clause
defines filestat as the file-status data item for the file. When a COBOL run-

filestat before returning control to your program (see I-O Status Code).
filestat
is an alphanumeric, nonnational data item defined in the Working-Storage
Section, Extended-Storage Section, or Linkage Section.
