[open-cobol-list] Poisitioning accept and display.

[John R. Culleton]

 tried ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements with line and column
indicators but they were ignored. Three possiblities:
1. My statements were incorrect.
2. My installation was defective.
3. OpenCOBOL doesn't handle this feature.  

If number three, is there a schedule for implementing it?

Here was my test PROCEDURE DIVISION:
00240 PROCEDURE DIVISION.
000250 001-MAIN-PROCEDURE.
000260     DISPLAY "TEMPLATE".
           DISPLAY "ENTER VALUE" AT LINE 5 COLUMN 20.
           ACCEPT DISPLAY-ITEM AT LINE 5 COLUMN 35.
           DISPLAY DISPLAY-ITEM.
000270          STOP RUN.
