*Almost every COBOL programmer will abbreviate PICTURE as PIC.
*A is for alphabetic, X is for alphanumeric, and 9 is for numeric.
*example:
01 MYNAME PIC xxxxxxxxxx. *> A 10 character string.

01 MYNAME PIC xxxxxxxxxx. *> A 10 character string.
*But counting all those x's can lead to errors, so the above code can, and should,
