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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Text:         Invalid directive
 
  Explanation:  You have either specified a COBOL system directive in
                the wrong place or specified an invalid COBOL system
                directive in a $SET statement in your program.  Check your
                COBOL System Reference for the correct form of COBOL system
                directives.
 
  Resolution:   For example, you may specify a $SET LIST anywhere, a
                $SET OSVS only before COBOL, and a $SET PREPROCESS only on
                the first line.
