I've updated CVS (0.63.67) with this minor BUG fix.

As a work around to this problem, you can use the following.

Change:
select ... assign to { identifier | literal }

Remove 'value of file-id' clause.
FD ...
* value of file-id ...

Finally the following code does not conform to the COBOL-85 standard.

working-storage section.
...
01  wtesta global.
...
procedure division using wtesta.

AFAIK, the identifier 'wtesta' should be in the 'LINKAGE SECTION'.


Hope this helps.
