    Points worth noting. I was doing some studies on Data Flow Diagram recently and was writing an article about it, but I did not noticed that this important information was missing. Thank you very much for this post.

    Dear Suresh Khanal,
    If you go through a Kendall and Kendall's Book it shows Context Level and Zero "0" Level as a different level DFD. According to Book by James A. Senn Both are same.
    So, Whatever method you follow just mention the reference you have taken from that book.
    From my point of view James A. Senn's book have clear and Correct approach toward DFD.
