Chapter 4  Segmentation 

The segmentationmodule provides a capability to specify object program
overlay requirements.

Segmentation provides a facility for specifying permanent and independent
segments.  Segmentation also allows the intermixing of sections with
different segment-numbers and allows the fixed portion of the source
program to contain segments that can be overlaid.

For ANS85 only:  The Segmentation module is classed as an obsolete
element in the ANSI'85 standard and is scheduled to be deleted from the
next full revision of the ANSI Standard.

For MF only:    All dialects in this COBOL implementation fully support
this syntax.  Refer to your COBOL System Reference for details on using
the FLAGSTD directive to detect all occurrences of this syntax.

For XOPEN only:  Although it is a part of the standard COBOL definition,
this module is explicity excluded from the X/Open COBOL language
definitions and should not be used in a conforming X/Open COBOL source
program.
