I didn't reply to this when first posted. It is interesting that this NCR
syntax is "sort-of" like an IBM extension - also available with Micro Focus.
See:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/IGY3LR40/8.1.1
Personally, I think that this is a "little used" feature of both the IBM and
the Micro Focus compilers, but it does exist outside the NCR compiler.
