By cluster I was using the minimum data storage size
measurement used by FAT-16, FAT-32, HPFS, and NTFS. i.e.
for a FAT-16 based drive the minimum cluster size is based
on the size of a FAT partition. Now USF uses partitions to
mean the same thing..so I was looking for a cluster
standard.
As for this:
PIC X 10 VALUE "YES! COBOL"
This a delcaritive COBOL statement assigning the value in
quotes to a character variable (variable not shown here)
