Re: [Cobolforgcc-devel] Data division of core compiler subset now complete

[Tim J. <te...@me...>]

Bill,

The usages I am supporting are

- display with PIC X(n) only
- pointer (based on IBM's implementation)
- binary-char binary-short binary-long and binary-double (from
the new COBOL standard).

No:
- numeric PIC clauses
- comp-x

These will be done in the nucleus proper which is phase 2. I
intend to write the PIC clause analysis in COBOL. 

It is only a subset of the nucleus so there is no file IO - this
will have to be done via calls to C routines like fread etc.

Once I have the full compiler subset done I will make it
available - at that time I will be asking for test cases and bug
reports.
