RE: [open-cobol-list] 2002/85 syntax question

[Bill Klein]

My first reply may have missed your point.

  "Not on" 

is NOT a valid "conditional" indicator for either CALL or ADD.  You *must*
read another word in, i.e. 
   "Not On Exception"
       vs
   "Not On Size Error"

It would be NON-conforming to require the programmer to add an END-ADD
"just" because you did not want to have to distinguish between the two.
