What is the benefit of using Externally Described files
over Internally
Described?

Answer Posted / anand

Externally described files are defined in outside of the pgm
which has specific structure(fields and attributes). So that
you can use in multi program.

Internally described files are defined in inside of the
program or flatfile(fully proc)-without structure.
