Program Declaration For MF only: The Environment Division must be omitted. The Data and Procedure Divisions can be omitted. Optional Division, Section and Paragraph Headings Some of the "red-tape" statements required by the ANSI Standard COBOL specifications are optional when using this COBOL system. It is, however, possible to have your COBOL system output warning messages when such statements are found to be missing by use of the FLAG directive (see your COBOL System Reference). Such statements are identified as optional in this manual by enclosing them between brackets which have boxes around them. The symbols next to these boxes indicate the dialect in which these features are optional.
