Bug ID: 120787
Summary: FR: EXHIBIT + EXHIBIT named support
Product: gcc
Version: 16.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: cobol
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: simonsobisch at gnu dot org
Target Milestone: ---
program-id.t.
data Division.
WORKING-STORAGE Section.
01 var pic x.
PROCEDURE Division.
EXHIBIT NAMED var.
goback.
compiles with MF and GC, is *not* documented in Enterprise COBOL any more,
raises the following message with gcobol (so seems to be "somehow in"?)
../t.cob:6:11: error: syntax error, unexpected EXHIBIT
Note: EXHIBIT CHANGED is in theory more interesting (as it needs a bunch of
COBOL code to be replaced), but EXHIBIT and EXHIBIT NAMED are easy to do
(converting internally to DISPLAY) and are the ones I see in the codebase I'm
looking at; maybe someone could provide an awk preprocessing to convert that to
the related DISPLAY statement until it is supported (or as a workaround if it
won't be)?
