Data Description Entries and Initializing Data Items
Data description entries and data initialization rules are the same in the Linkage
Section as they are in the Working-Storage Section, except that you can use the
VALUE clause only for level-88 items. For information on using the VALUE clause in
the Linkage Section, see Descriptions of Condition-Names for Values (Level 88). For
information on data description entries and data initialization rules, see Data
Description Entries, Initializing Data Items.
ACCESS MODE Clause
The ACCESS MODE clause describes the addressing method used to access
parameters passed to the program—STANDARD or EXTENDED-STORAGE. You can
specify the ACCESS MODE clause only in level-01 through level-49 and level-77 data
description entries in the Linkage Section.
