ANSI and TANDEM formats are described in the COBOL Manual for TNS and TNS/R
Programs and the COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs.
In Table 9-1 on page 9-2, the DDL compiler opens a COBOL source code file,
COBSRC, and adds the definition for NAME to that file.
In Example 9-2 on page 9-8, the DDL compiler opens a COBOL source code file,
COBSRC1, and adds the definition for name to that file.
