I have been chasing through a few IBM ISPF manuals and I am
trying to figure out why, when HILITE is COBOL, certain words are
"pink". Now I thought this was used to show a logic error, such
as an "IF" with a missing "END-IF", or an extraneous "END-IF".
Where my curiosity/confusion is, is this:
COBOL has [intrinsic] FUNCTIONs. And I'm trying to make use of
one, but it is getting colored pink. Could this be because ISPF
doesn't know about new functions in COBOL? In this case it is
"BYTE-LENGTH" (because I need to know at execution time what the
size of the named label is -- "Depending on" is being used).
Could someone point me in the approximate correct direction?
Or have I stumbled on a situation where ISPF and COBOL 6.x are
not in synch?
TIA,
Steve Thompson
