Chapter 14 Reformatting a DG COBOL Source File Source programs written in DG Interactive COBOL CRT format cannot be accepted by this COBOL system unless you first amend them using a source file formatter. This must alter the margins in these programs, and split any lines in them containing more than 72 characters, into lines of 72 characters or fewer. The reform5 facility is a source file formatter, supplied with Conversion Series 5, which reformats source programs in CRT format so that they are compatible with the requirements of this COBOL system. Any similar source file formatter can be used to reformat your programs if you do not wish to use reform5. If you wish to supply DG Interactive COBOL programs written in CRT format to the file conversion utility Convert5, you must amend them first using reform5, or a similar source formatter.
