────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     When OLDSTRSUB is specified, subscripts are evaluated after implicit
     move operations with STRING, UNSTRING or INSPECT statements.
 
     This directive should only be used to maintain compatibility with
     previous versions of Micro Focus COBOL/2 and LEVEL II COBOL as the
     resultant run-time behavior is not ANSI'85 compliant.
