[open-cobol-list] Re: OC issues - number 4

[Roger While]

Let me guess - The line with the VALUE is immediately
terminated after the apostrophe with a new-line
and/or the following line is also terminated with a new-line
immediately after the apostrophe.
(At least BOTH are true when doing copy/paste from the post).

This is then invalid.
ie. The apostrophes would concatanate and be interpreted as
one occurrence as per Cobol rules.
