Why does ADDI analyze the DATA DIVISION of COBOL programs during discovery?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Think of it like working hands-on with IBM mainframe systems — the answer here is 'To identify WORKING-STORAGE fields, LINKAGE SECTION parameters, and file record layouts that must be mapped to Java data structures during transformation'. Analysis of the DATA DIVISION captures WORKING-STORAGE variables, LINKAGE SECTION parameters, and FD record layouts that must be converted to Java classes or method signatures during transformation. On real mainframe exams, this concept comes up repeatedly so make sure you have it locked in.
