[GNU-COBOL] COBOL Clarafications

[Tim Josling <tej@melbpc.org.au>]

Hi Chad,

Check out this URL: www.ncits.org/press/1997/pr97137.htm. There
are also clarifications #24-27 as well as #28.

I have had another go at getting my mail to send reasonable
output.

NCITS Announces the Availability of COBOL Information Bulletin
#28 

Washington D.C., October 1997 - NCITS Announces the Availability
of COBOL Information Bulletin #28 (CIB-28) 

COBOL Information Bulletin #28 is issued in response to questions
that have been raised regarding certain specifications contained
in the content of: 

ANSI X3.23-1985, Programming Language - COBOL, along with ANSI
X3.23a-1989, Programming Language - Intrinsic Function Module for
COBOL and ANSI
X3.23b-1993, Programming Language - Correction Amendment for
COBOL. 

These interpretations were prepared by Technical Committee J4,
which is responsible for the maintenance of that standard, and
were authorized for release by NCITS
(National Committee for Information Technology Standards) in
order to provide clarifications as quickly as possible in
response to questions raised. 

These interpretations, while reflecting the technical opinion of
the committee responsible for maintaining the standard, are
intended solely as supplementary information to
users of the standard. The standard is not altered by the
issuance of these interpretations. Any subsequent revision,
erratum, amendment, or interpretation to the standard
may or may not reflect the contents of these interpretations. 

Copies of CIB #28 can be purchased from Global Engineering
Documents, Inc., 15 Inverness Way East, Englewood, CO 80112-5704,
