Re: [open-cobol-list] Rewrite line sequential fiie.

Actually, Micro Focus does allow REWRITE on LINE SEQUENTIAL providing the new record image is not larger.

So this feature has been added to GNU Cobol for compatibility.

The statement that REWRITE is allowed (pg 80) is incorrect (a copy/paste oversight).  Neither "OPEN I-O" nor "REWRITE" are allowed with LINE SEQUENTIAL files (which are meant to be print files).  The compiler clearly flags both as errors if they are attempted.

Page 80 of the manual says that REWRITE can be
used for line sequential files. page 437 says the
opposite.

If REWRITE is legitimate then I assume that the
file can be opened in I-O mode.
