From what I understand, ACCEPT accepts alphanumeric data.  The target
PICTURE determines the usage.

Sorry, I've been with my e-mail off for 2 days. Now it's right.
I have seen your postings in our archive, but really what I wanted was
not the syntax, but the procedures for operating the "accept".

Suppose I do an accept with an numeric field.  What should I see? Just
some character fields to fill the digits (significative or not), or
something formatted on the screen with the (assumed) decimal point
visible, &c.

What is desirable?  I already know the syntax, I want the semantics. (the
operational details)

I don't even know well how to express myself about those details, and
don't have a cobol compiler (except ours, of course) to test and see what
should happen.

Please look at our latest cvs release and see how it work (see
test.code/t16) and tell me what's wrong and how it should be, to be really
useful.

Thank you for your input.

regards,
