DATA DIVISION. Overview. The third division in a COBOL (sub)program is the DATA DIVISION, in which the data used by the (sub)program is declared/described. The DATA DIVISION of a subprogram contains three sections --FILE, WORKING-STORAGE, and LINKAGE-- while that of a (main) program contains only the first two.
1 A COBOL program is written in an English type language that cannot be understood by the machine, therefore it has to be translated using a compiler.2  A compiler translates the code all at once and produces a machine version of the program. This translation is done with a compiler that reads the high level COBOL language of the SOURCE PROGRAM and converts each high level COBOL instruction into one or more machine language instructions. 2  The OBJECT PROGRAM is the result.
