May be this is why it  has been 'normal' in COBOL environments to have a
WORKING-STORAGE area to work on before you write or modify  a record.
Working directly on the file buffer has not been 'good latin'.

If you define your record in Working-Storage and use WRITE record FROM
WS-RECORD-DEFINITION, you will avoid the problem. The contents of
WS-RECORD-DEFINITION will not be affected when you write the record..
