The following section covers the known issues when submitting RM/COBOL source programs to this COBOL system. Where possible,
work-arounds and resolutions are also provided.
Program Identification and Data Names In Enterprise Developer, ensure that the Program-ID name does not share the same name as any data items in the program.
REMARKS Paragraph In Enterprise Developer, if your program uses the REMARKS paragraph in the Identification Division, you must set the DIALECT"RM" Compiler directive.
Reserved Words In Enterprise Developer, setting certain Compiler directives (such as RM and ANS85) activates certain reserved words that you cannot use as names
for your data items.
Undeclared Data Items in Clauses In Enterprise Developer, if the data item used in a clause (for example, the File Status clause) is not declared, you receive an error.
User-names Longer than 127 Bytes are Truncated In RM/COBOL, you can specify user-names (data-names, procedure-names, program-names, etc) up to 240 characters long. In this
COBOL system, user-names longer than 127 bytes in length are truncated and a warning message is produced.
