Format of COBOL reserved-word file

A reserved-word file contains a list of reserved words that are in addition to the built-in COBOL reserved words. The format of the file is one reserved word per line. An EGL reserved-word file applies only to COBOL generation.

If you use a reserved word as the name of a program, the EGL generator exits with an error. If you use a reserved word as the name of another part, the generator aliases it.
