[open-cobol-list] RE: COBOL Pgms

[William M. Klein]

The attached program was NOT identical to what was originally posted.  It
passes a Working-Storage item as the first argument *not* an alphanumeric
literal.  This makes MUCH more sense to me.

Again, this has NOTHING to do with retaining addressability to linkage
section items between CALLs - but does mean that program with

  CALL "whatever" Using "alphanumeric literal"

Are NOT valid for IBM compilers (at least not as shown by this program).

Thanks for running the test.
