File Status 48 For Write to ACCESS SEQUENTIAL File
With this version of HP COBOL II/iX A.04.09, the run-time library more
fully conforms to the ANSI'85 Standard when the ANSI85 entry point is
used. If a WRITE to an ACCESS SEQUENTIAL file opened in I/O mode is
detected, the run-time library returns a File Status 48 and aborts the
program with the following error message:
FILE NOT OPENED or MODE INCORRECT [47,48,49,9x] WRITE (COBERR 638)
As an extension for compatibility, the HP COBOL II/iX compiler allows a
WRITE statement to an ACCESS SEQUENTIAL file opened in I/O mode. This
extension can be enabled without recompiling the source program by using
the COBRUNTIME environment variable. Recompiling the program using
$CONTROL STAT74 or the ANSI74 entry point of the compiler also enables
the extension.

Informational Message
Informational message number 984 has been added to tell users to break up
large paragraphs or sections.
984 PROCEDURE ! (!) IS TOO COMPLEX FOR EFFICIENT OPTIMIZATION.
Cause The above section or paragraph has too many statements to
optimize in a reasonable length of time. The second number is
a complexity factor based on the number of statements. Note
that a paragraph may appear to be small but generates a high
complexity factor due to the amount of code generated for the
statements in that paragraph. For example, some statements,
such as INITIALIZE, may have a high complexity factor.
