ISSUE:  COBOL record layouts can contain multiple record definitions, and, each one of these records should be represented by its own table.

HOW TO STEPS:

1. In the Catalog Explorer, double-click the File Definitions node.  This action will cause the catalog's file definitions(FD) to be displayed.
2. Expand the relevant file definition, right-click "Record Types", and, select "New Record Type".
3. Enter a name for the record type and click "Add".  The <file-definition-name> tab is displayed, and immediately applies the record type, as indicated by the record type selector displayed at the top of the pane(see image below):
4. In the In Selected column, select each field to belong to the record type.  **Note: Selecting a parent node automatically selects all of its child nodes. If you do not want all of the child nodes, select the parent node for a second time to deselect child nodes. 
5. Click Save to Catalog.  The record type is saved.

After adding your record type, you must apply a filter to the record type in order for it to be selected for use by an appropriate condition variable.
