Rather than think of them as a table, think of each
copybook mapping a record in a file (which is what
cobol is basically designed to do)...
The numeric levels are a hierarchical way of grouping
the levels... For example:
10 date-created
20 year-created pic 99
20 month-created pic 99
20 day-created pic 99
would imply that the "date-created" is a 6 digit
number comprising three components (yr/mon/day).
Within cobol you could refer to either level to
use/create the records.
