How many sections are there in data division?.

Answer Posted / shivankoo

I am sure that there are 6 or more section. I am saying that
because I got below question in Amdocs mainframe test

Which of the following sections are a part of data division:
1.)Local Storage section
2.)Report section
3.)Screen section
4.)All of these

the correct option was 4 all of these

So apart from W-S section, Linkage section and file section
there are 3 or more sections.

Is This Answer Correct ?    0 Yes 0 No

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
