To answer this question, let's discuss the LABEL RECORDS clause in VSAM files and its effect on program execution:
The LABEL RECORDS clause in COBOL is used to indicate whether the input/output operations on a file should include or exclude the record labels. In VSAM files, the LABEL RECORDS clause specifies whether the record labels are to be processed along with the data records.
However, in the case of VSAM files, the LABEL RECORDS clause has no effect on the execution of the program. This is because VSAM files are organized and accessed differently than sequential files. VSAM files are typically accessed using a key, and the record labels are managed internally by the VSAM system.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) True. The LABEL RECORDS clause does not impact the execution of the program when working with VSAM files.
