2.7.1.2 Record Definitions
Each data file definition is made up of one or more record definitions. These define
organization of the data. The associated batch file determines how these records are
used. The order in which the data is populated determines the order in which those
records will appear in the output file. This is generally related to the order the
records appear in the Data File Definition section.
