Appendix A 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 might exceed those of this COBOL system. In these cases a different error message is produced.
