            Bug ID: 126614
           Summary: cobol1: support for extended DISPLAY/ACCEPT (at least
                    parsing)
           Product: gcc
           Version: 17.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: cobol
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: simonsobisch at gnu dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

many existing programs will use this, so at least _parsing_ it (any maybe
supporting a subset) would be very useful, even if it isn't in the "general
implementation plan of gcobol"
