Sorry for all the noise today.
I figured out was wrong.
I was assuming that I could use a function "out in the open" to
manipulate data. However the manual says on page 6-11, that an intrinsic
function can be used anywhere in the procedure division that a literal
is allowed.
So in a MOVE statement or DISPLAY but we can't just have a statement
"foo" and in turn we can't just have function SUBSTITUTE.
