Micro Focus COBOL Language Reference - Additional Topics

Chapter 13  Data General Interactive COBOL V1.3 Syntax Support 

The syntax listed in this chapter is accepted by your COBOL system purely
for compatibility with version 1.3 of Data General Interactive COBOL.Many
features found in Data General Interactive COBOL exist already in this
COBOL implementation.  These are documented in your Language Reference.
Some of the compatibility syntax listed in this chapter is identical to
standard COBOL syntax, but behaves differently if you set the DG system
directivewhen you submit your source code to your COBOL system.  See your
COBOL System Reference for details of the DG directive, and the Data 
General Interactive Programmer's Reference Manual for a full description
of the Data General syntax.


NOTE  * Setting the DG directive does not affect the reserved words at
      all.
