As suggested, you should change your font when writing to the form so the
entire error message and the lines to which it refers are shown as displayed on
your 3270 emulator. I think the rules for COBOL continuation lines have been
pretty well covered.
I would add only that since you want to include an apostrophe [aka single quote
(')] in your displays, you should use the quote (") [aka double quote] as the
all COBOL manuals show.
DISPLAY "Use the apostrophe to 'HIGHLIGHT' a word"
Be aware, the Compiler option QUOTE has no effect on the usage of either the
apostrophe or quote mark in this case; it only tells the compiler the symbol to
insert if you were to use the word QUOTE as a figurate constant, similar to the
use of ZERO or SPACE.
