RM/COBOL Source Programs The COBOL language supported by this system includes certain extensions which allow you to submit source programs written in the RM/COBOL language directly to this COBOL system. To submit RM/COBOL source programs to this COBOL system which contain syntax not supported in the standard COBOL language, you must set the RM system directive. See your COBOL System Reference for details of this directive. When you set the RM directive, the additional syntax required, as documented in your Language Reference, is enabled. You will need to alter your source programs only if they contain RM/COBOL features which are not supported by this COBOL system. You may also want to change your source programs if they contain features which behave differently under both COBOL systems, in order to force this system to emulate the behavior of the RM/COBOL system. See Chapter 6 for details. You must run the tabx program before submitting any source programs containing TAB characters to this COBOL system. This program expands TAB characters into a form which can be processed by this COBOL system. See Chapter 5 for details.
