Hey, gang:

I have this PDS member that came up in a scan:
Code:
 VIEW       TGPROD.SOURCE.LIB(PSCRLONC) - 01.02                     Columns 00001 00080
 000022  REC EXT-ORIG-LEND-SUFX-NBR-ALPHA 33 03
 000023  REC EXT-ORIG-LEND-TYPE           36 03
 000024  REC EXT-CURR-HOME-TG-ID          39 09 2
 000025  REC EXT-ORIG-HOME-TG-ID          48 09 2
 000026  REC EXT-SCHL-TG-ID               57 09 2
 000027  REC EXT-SCHL-ED-ID               57 06 2
 000028  REC EXT-SCHL-SUFX-NBR            63 03 2
 000029  REC EXT-SCHL-TG-ID-ALPHA         57 09
 000030  REC EXT-SCHL-ED-ID-ALPHA         57 06
 000031  REC EXT-SCHL-SUFX-NBR-ALPHA      63 03
 000032  REC EXT-SCHL-TYPE                66 03
 000033  REC EXT-SCHL-HOME-TG-ID          69 09 2
I'm curious if anyone knows what sort of programming language would use this. I know it's not COBOL, NATURAL, or SAS (OK, I'm only 90% sure about SAS, cuz I don't know it very well.)

I'm 99% sure the first number after the field name is an offset/byte location; and I'm sure that the second number is the field length. I don't know what "2" in the last column is on some of the records, but I'm guessing that it means the data is expected to be numeric.

I've scanned our common prod libraries (JCL, proc, control card, source code), and I could not find any other reference to this object.

If anyone can illuminate me on what sort of programming language would use this data structure format, I would be very appreciative.

OK, I was able to answer my own question.

The record layout is for CULPRIT, a programming language we used a long time ago. Apparently it's still installed, and there a few CULPRIT programs still executing in the system, but development of any new CULPRIT programs is verboten!
