    The notion of light-like submanifolds was introduced by \textit{A. Bejancu} and \textit{K. L. Duggal} [Lightlike submanifolds of semi-Riemannian manifolds and applications. Math. and its Appl. 364, Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers (1996; Zbl 0848.53001)]. The study of these submanifolds is closely related to the choice of a screen distribution. In this paper the author studies light-like submanifolds of codimension two. More precisely, it is proved the existence of integrable canonical screen distributions. At the end of the paper an example is given which justifies the obtained results.
