Micro Focus COBOL Compatibility Guide

Enhancing your Converted Application 

Once you have successfully submitted your RM/COBOL source programs to
this COBOL system, you may wish to take advantage of some of the advanced
features offered to you by this system.  These features include:

   *   enhanced screen handling, provided by a new section in your source
       programs - the Screen Section

   *   ANSI'85 syntax

   *   IBM mainframe COBOL syntax

   *   report writer syntax.

Full details on these features and their associated syntax can be found
in your Language Reference and Language Reference - Additional Topics.

To use these features, you must specify certain system directives when
you submit your source programs to this COBOL system.  For example, you
must set the ANS85 directive if you use ANSI'85 syntax in your source
programs.  See your COBOL System Reference for full details of all system
directives, and the features they enable.
