[Cobolforgcc-devel] std=MVS (was: several problem issues with 0.32

[Bill K. <wm...@ix...>]

Just out of curiosity, what "IBM" product is "std=mvs" SUPPOSED to "match"?

If it is VS COBOL II, then it should NOT treat "function" as a reserved
word.

If it is any LE-conforming compiler (SAA AD/Cycle COBOL/370, COBOL for
"this-or-that", or Enterprise COBOL), then it SHOULD treat "function" as a
reserved word (and issue a message indicating that OC is "missing support"
for Intrinsic Functions supported on the (IBM) mainframe.

What OO COBOL words are "reserved" (as well as what XML words) will ALSO
vary depending upon which IBM compiler is being emulated.

(for all the VARIOUS reserved words - much less syntax) differences, check
out the Micro Focus "reserved word" dialect options of:
   OSVS
   DOSVS
   VSC2(2)
   VSC2(3)
   VSC2(4)
   COBOL370
(and I may have missed some <G>)
