Re: gnubol: "Illegal" Next Sentence

[Michael McKernan <mck@tivoli.mv.com>]

I don't have a whole lot of interest in improving this hack, but its
use of a constant variable ;-) reminds me to put the question.  Are
compile time expressions still prohibited in COBOL?  I'm not trying
to start another extensions thread, but, syntactically, a numeric
literal is an arithmetic expression.
