Re: [open-cobol-list] OC issues

[Sergey Kashyrin]

The issue is that level 02 is following level 05 and there was no 02 before.
I'm not a Cobol guru but I expect that standard does not allow that.
Tandem (HP Nonstop) Cobol gives an error too.
The rest  - at least  all 390 mainframe, AS400, MFocus, Fujitsu are giving only 
warning and producing the correct code.

I think if it's possible it's better to fix (at least for mf,ibm,mvs dialects)

Regards,
Sergey
