 *Conan The Librarian

  The USE statement specifies Declarative procedures to handle
  input/output errors and database exception conditions.  It can also
  specify procedures to be executed before the program processes a
  specific report group.

  These procedures supplement the standard procedures in the COBOL
  Run-Time System and OpenVMS RMS.

  Format 2 -

  1 - group-data-name

  is the name of a report group in a report group description entry in
  a Data Division.  It must not appear in more than one USE statement.
