You are designing a COBOL program to handle employee records, which include both personal and job-related data. How would you structure the data to represent these two categories effectively?
- Defining separate record structures for personal and job-related data
- Incorporating redefines to overlap personal and job-related data
- Using a group item to define a record containing individual fields for personal and job-related data
- Utilizing OCCURS clause to organize data in a table structure
It is effective to define separate record structures for personal and job-related data to ensure clarity and maintainability in the COBOL program. This allows for easy understanding and modification of each data category.
