Definition

Table data begins with the BOT operator and ends with the EOT operator.

For each table entry there is an operator pair BOE and EOE between the BOT operator and the EOT operator. The secondary file defines the data between the BOE and EOE.

The second operand of the BOT operator specifies the number of table entries.

The following graphic displays how the operators begin table and end table are represented schematically:

The begin table operator indicates that table data follows.

The end table operator closes the begin table operator. This operator has no operands. It indicates that table data has been processed.
