Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The possible values of dialect are:
 
      MF       Micro Focus
      ANS74    ANSI COBOL standard X3.23, 1974
      ANS85    ANSI COBOL standard X3.23, 1985
      SAA      Full implementation of IBM's System
               Application Architecture definition of COBOL
      VSC2     IBM VS COBOL II
      OSVS     IBM OS/VS COBOL
      DOSVS    IBM DOS/VS COBOL
      COBOL370 IBM COBOL/370
 
     To create a program which is fully ANSI'85 conforming, use:
 
       ANS85 FLAG "ANS85"
 
     and correct anything that causes a flagging message to be produced.
     For VSC2, the flagging given depends on the version of VSC2
     selected by the VSC2 directive. Note that you cannot use DG, RM
     or MS as a level in the FLAG directive.
