WHAT IS MENT BY RECORD LEVEL IDENTIFIER?
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS?

Answer:

Record level Identifier gives the information about the
specific record format in the file. This can be used to
make sure that the record format of the file is same at
present as it was when the program was compiled.This will
protect the program from going into error due to changes
made to the record format after the compilation of the
program.The system tells the program, when it tries to open
the file, that a significant change occurred to the
definition of the file since the last time the program was
compiled.
