Re: [open-cobol-list] line sequential and string.

What book are you using?
  Record Varying in Size

is ABSOLUTELY the correct syntax in any '85 Stand conforming compiler.

The "in size" is OPTIONAL wording, but MUST be supported by a conforming
compiler.

Now, the OCCURS clause is different; but for the RECORD clause "in size"
must be supported.
