39.0. "COBOL Level 1 Compliant?" by SIOG::FITZPATRICK () Wed Jan 29 1997 13:10
Cross posted in YEAR2000 and Y2K Notes Files
Can anybody tell me the position regarding COBOL's compliance.
I have been told that version 2.4 of DEC COBOL and version 5.4 of VAX
COBOL are Level 1 compliant.
However, I believe that the COBOL statement :
ACCEPT X-DATE FROM DATE.
will populate a 2 character year field in variable X-DATE.
The workaround is to use System services calls, SYS$GETTIM,
SYS$ASCTIM etc.
My issue is : Surely the ACCEPT statement (and therefore COBOL) does
not meet Level 1 compliance. Am I correct ?
Many thanks,
Michael.

I'd contact the COBOL folks directly... (I'm not sure they follow
this or the YEAR2000 conference...)
