A record layout name is constructed from the Data Division data item from which it is created.
- Default record layout name
- A default record layout name consists of the selected data item name appended with "DEFAULT". For example, if you select a Data Division data item named CUSTOMER-REC as your default record layout, the record layout name is CUSTOMER-REC-DEFAULT.
- Conditional record layout names
- The name of the first conditional layout created for a data item is always the same as the data item name. Subsequent layouts created for the same data item are appended with a generated number starting with "001" and incremented with each subsequent layout. For example, EM-POSITION, EM-POSITION-001, EM-POSITION-002, and so on.
