Chapter 7 - Group Properties Specifying a Delimiter
Sometimes components of an implicit group may be distinguished because there is
something in the data that distinguishes them. For example, the type Form has
an implicit format with no syntax. It consists of a header, one or more items, and
a trailer.
After the first item Line of the Form, the next data object could be another item
Line. Or, it could be a Trailer Line. When looking at a particular Line, there is
something in the data that identifies that Line either as a Header Line, an item
Line, or a Trailer Line. The type Line has been partitioned to distinguish
between the different kinds of Lines. For a detailed discussion of distinguishable
objects, see Chapter 13 - Distinguishable Objects. See Chapter 9 - Partitioning, for
a discussion of partitioning.
