COBOL/400 Language Help
The following rules apply to the PROCESS statement:
- The statement must be placed before the first source statement in the
COBOL program immediately preceding the IDENTIFICATION DIVISION header.
- The statement begins with the word PROCESS. Options can appear on
more than one line; however, only the first line can contain the word
PROCESS.
- The word PROCESS and all options must appear within positions 8 through
72. Position 7 must be left blank. The remaining positions can
be used as in COBOL source statements: positions 1 through 6 for
sequence numbers, positions 73 through 80 for identification purposes.
- The options must be separated by blanks and/or commas.
- The options can appear in any order. If conflicting options are
specified, for example, LIST and NOLIST, the last option encountered takes
precedence.
- For any options with suboptions, if the option keyword is correct and the
suboption is in error, the default suboption is assumed.
