OS/VS COBOL Using the NOTE statement, the programmer can write commentary that will be produced on the source listing but not compiled.
Format: NOTE character string Any combination of characters from the EBCDIC set may be included in the character string. If a NOTE sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph, the entire paragraph is considered to be part of the character string. Proper format rules for paragraph structure must be observed. If a NOTE sentence appears as other than the first sentence of a paragraph, the commentary ends with the first occurrence of a period followed by a space. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 1:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: COBOL question - NOTE It seems to me that I remember a COBOL version which had a NOTE verb. It definitely is not in Enterprise COBOL. Am I once again confused, or did that disappear in some primeval version? -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
