ENVIRONMENT DIVISION Syntax Rules
The CONFIGURATION and INPUT-OUTPUT SECTIONs are optional. In nested
programs, the CONFIGURATION SECTION is not allowed, because the
information in the containing program is global across the contained
programs. In separate programs, or in concatenated programs when
included, they must appear in the order shown in the format description.
Within each section, all paragraphs are optional.
