Locations in Generated Code:

Location	Keyword	Explanation
Top of program	SYM1	At the beginning of the program, before rule libraries that you include at the beginning of the program
	SYM2	After rule libraries that you include at the beginning of the program
Environment Division	SYEN	In the Environment Division, after the Special-Names paragraph

 SYM1   % INCLUDE USERMACS(MY-RULE)

Place a variable assignment statement at the top of the program.

 SYM1    &TP-USER-LEN = 49
