[open-cobol-list] Organization of Sequential Files

[Franklin Ankum]

Is there a way to change the default file organization of sequential files
like in MicroFocus by meens of the SEQUENTIAL directive?

in stead of the following clauses,

"organization is line sequential" or "organization is record sequential"

i would simply declare "organization is sequential"


file-control.
   select seqfile
       assign to "seqfile.dat"
       organization is sequential.
file section.
fd seqfile.
   record contains 80 characters.
01 seqfile-record    pic x(80).


If there is no such methode, this would be a very usefull enhancement, maybe
put it into the configuration files.
