Shilpa you are wrong. Identification division contains
paragraphs. PROGRAM-ID is a para name ok thats y we put a
space after PROGRAM-ID. R u getting me.

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. PROGRAM NAME(SHOULE BE 8 CHARACTER).

Also there are other paras in IDENTIFICATION divison which
are optional as ASMARA said.
