How do you mean define ............

a) a physical define as in IDCAMS delete / define.
b) define the file as a VSAM file to the program.

mastra,

Identify and define the files in the ENVIRONMENT and the DATADIVISION. Then you can read the records in the PROCEDURE DIVISION.

check the COBOL manual available in the manuals section.
