--- Comment #2 from Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch at gnu dot org> ---
The ice on the original example does not happen any more ("fixed" by another
bug in gcc 16), instead there is a "clean" compile error now:
<source>:11:8: error: TABLE-05: no key defined
11 | SORT TABLE-05(1) ON DESCENDING KEY-VAR
| ^~~~~~
cobol1: error: failed compiling <source>
... but that's wrong per ISO, which supports this code and notes that the key
_may_ be left away from the sort statement:
> The KEY phrase may be omitted only if the description of the table referenced
> by data-name-2 contains a KEY phrase.
---> it does not need to contain a key phrase.
Using an example with the key phrase and sorting an inner element, there are
parser errors (since gcc 15):
SORT TABLE-05 (SUB-03) ON DESCENDING KEY-VAR
<source>:31:24: error: syntax error, unexpected '('
31 | SORT TABLE-05 (SUB-03) ON DESCENDING KEY-VAR
| ^~
cobol1: error: failed compiling <source>
full example (and comparison to GnuCOBOL at https://godbolt.org/z/fvvYaerfa)
