FW: gnubol: How do we parse this language, anyway?

["William M. Klein" <wmklein@ix.netcom.com>]

Tim,
 Which "their" are you talking about?  Wang and Micro Focus?  If so, I have a
medium old (V4.0 circa 1996) Micro Focus manual.  I just got a new copy of
Micro Focus NetExpress - that I plan on installing just after the 1st of the
year - so I can test that out then.  As far as Wang goes, I don't have access
to either the manuals or compilers.

If you have ANY test code that you would like run on various compilers, I
would be happy to post it in comp.lang.cobol - with which compilers we would
like to see tested.  Usually such requests get fairly good (and medium
timely) results.

Bill,

If you have access to their manuals, is there any information in their manual
about how they parse the nested search/evaluate when there is no end-verb?
Are
there any limits expressed about this?

Are you in a position to run any tests? If so I can send you some code to try
that will test it out.
