5. Defining Data Part 2

                 5.1 Printing/writing data
                 5.2 Tables
                 5.3 Boolean Data
                 5.4 HIGH-VALUES and LOW-VALUES

How data is prepared for printing or for writing to a file is largely controlled by how it is defined in the data division. This section also describes how tables (aka arrays in other languages) are defined and used in COBOL. The definition and use of Boolean data (i.e. true or false) is discussed too.
