Hmmm. Not seeing errors from EC at the customer. I wonder if that REMARKS
line is somehow significant. (And Yes, I can test that and no I have not
yet.)
I will repost here the preceding lines, and also the lines I posted before
as Outlook+Listserve garbled it a bit.

Subject: Re: Is this valid COBOL syntax?
A fast test with Enterprise COBOL 3.4.1 got an error message:

'" was
invalid. Scanning was resumed at the next area "A"
item, level-number,
or the start of the next clause.
And my "gut feeling" is that such a construct is indeed invalid. What are a
few of the lines above these lines?
