[open-cobol-list] Difference in version 2 versus 1.1? |

Recently upgraded my classroom to use the 2 version of gnu cobol, and just
ran into a difference.
In 1.1 I could send escape character to the output file, but with 2 it fails
when
writing to the file. Found if I removed the escape it would write and run fine?
Eventually, found that I removed the Organization is line sequention it would
work just fine. Not sure why that would limit the use of escape?
SELECT REPORT-OUT ASSIGN TO "SCN".
* ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL.
Record sent to file was just to set the printer mode?
01 HP-SETUP.
* Reset Printer
05 filler pic x value X"1B".
05 filler pic x value 'E'.
* Landscape, top margin 1,60 lpp, 8 lines per inch
05 filler pic x value X'1B'.
05 filler pic x(11) value '&l1o1e60f8D'.
* Left margin 0, Right margin 132
05 filler pic x value X'1B'.
05 filler pic x(8) value '&a0l132M'.
* 13 point font
05 filler pic x value X'1B'.
05 filler pic x(5) value '(s13H'.
Easy to fix, but wondering why it does this in version 2, but it had no issue
in
1.1. Also, not sure why removing the line sequential fixes it?
Thanks.
