TC supports both fixed and free COBOL formats.

You can override the default by using the command line options (-F=fixed or
-X=free), or change the default in the resource file 'htcobolrc' as follows.

From:
PGM_FORMAT_FREE
#PGM_FORMAT_FIXED
to
#PGM_FORMAT_FREE
PGM_FORMAT_FIXED

I tried to compile your example, on MinGW, and htcobol (not the COBOL
program) will terminate with a segmentation fault.

If is this is the problem you are encountering, then yes it is a bug.


Hope this helps.
