See:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/igy3lr10/APPENDIX1.1
which says (in part),
"An optional separator period following PROGRAM-ID, AUTHOR, INSTALLATION,
DATE-WRITTEN, DATE-COMPILED, and SECURITY paragraph headers
[Standard COBOL requires a period following PROGRAM-ID.]
To save repeated notes like this - you mighw ant to "document" exactly which of
these extensios are already in OpenCOBOL - and which are not.

--------
The following program compiles with the IBM compiler and yields
a parse error
prog14.cob:6: parse error, unexpected ENVIRONMENT, expecting RECURSIVE or
COMMON or TOK_INITIAL
with OpenCobol.
======================prog14.cob=======================
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. FPR2DS01
AUTHOR. DAVID Korn
DATE-WRITTEN. 06/20/2003.
DATE-COMPILED. 09/26/03.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
CONFIGURATION SECTION.
SOURCE-COMPUTER. IBM-3090.
OBJECT-COMPUTER. IBM-3090.
======================prog14.cob=======================
A period after PROGRAM-ID. FPR2DS01 fixes the problem but it looks
as if it is optional with the IBM compiler.
