Summary: In COBOL Version 3.0, files assigned to the printer should be defined as Line Sequential. However, files assigned to the printer can also be defined as (record) Sequential format. If a print file has a (record) Sequential format, the program must use WRITE BEFORE and/or WRITE AFTER clauses to print correctly.
