RM/COBOL Source Programs 

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 - Additional Topics,
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 the chapter RM/COBOL 
Source Compatibility 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
the chapter Converting an RM/COBOL Application for details.
