Hello!
I remember trying and failing to grok COBOL on an UNIVAC system, not
that it matters, we used IBM coding forms, back in my not very
properly spent youth, and after giving up on it, I realized why. Kevin
please ask off list. And I've decided, this discussion now has an
extension, instead of fourteen days to figure the problem out, it now
has one more month past that.
Basically group, I have come to the conclusion, that regardless which
release of COBOL it is, somethings just can not be properly solved.
