I referred to this since someone said that COBOL is English like. As such the language is wrong because it does not describe correctly in English what happens. COPY, REPLICATE, PROPAGATE would all be more precise English. IDEAL(CA/Broadcom) has MOVE and SET. They do the same thing. Which do you prefer: MOVE A TO B or SET B = A ?
