Appendix A Flagging of SAA, OSVS and VSC2 Implementation Limits
This table indicates the limits imposed by the following versions of IBM
COBOL:
SAA - Systems Application Architecture
OSVS - OS/VS COBOL
VSC2 - VS COBOL II
Items exceeding these limits can be flagged in your program by using
FLAG"SAA", FLAG"OSVS" and FLAG "VSC2" respectively.
Note: Some of the above limits may exceed those of this COBOL system.
In these cases a different error message will be produced.
