   FROM { keeplist-name } ...

  Keeplist-name refers to a user-defined keeplist in the Sub-Schema
  Section.

  Record-name and identifier must not refer to the same storage area.

  After statement execution ends, the data in the area referenced by
  identifier is available to the program.  The data is not available in
  the area referenced by record-name, unless there is an applicable
  SAME clause.
